  • Notification Appliances
  • Voice Evacuation Systems
  • Campus-Integrated Fire Alarm Networks
  • Code Compliance Review
  • Testing & Acceptance Support

Facility & Equipment

Assessments

Condition assessments of buildings, systems and equipment, organized by UNIFORMAT II. Each system is rated for condition, remaining useful life and replacement cost, and each deficiency is documented with photos, priority, cost estimate and recommended year, delivered in MultiPoint Assess.

  • Facility Condition Assessment
  • Asset/Equipment Evaluation & Inventory
  • Criticality & Condition Rating
  • Code & Accessibility Review
  • Insurance/Pre-purchase Analysis
Commissioning

Commissioning of new construction and retro-commissioning of existing buildings. We verify that HVAC, controls, lighting, power and life-safety systems are installed and perform as designed, document deficiencies and track each one to resolution.

  • New Construction Commissioning
  • Retro-Commissioning
  • Controls & Sequence Verification
  • Functional Performance Testing
  • Seasonal & Warranty Follow-up
Studies & Reports

Engineering studies that answer a defined question: the cause of a failure, available capacity, code compliance or replacement priority. Each report states findings, recommendations, cost estimates and priorities.

  • Forensic & Troubleshooting Studies
  • Capacity & Infrastructure Studies
  • Code Compliance Analysis
  • Life Cycle Cost Analysis
  • Indoor Air Quality

Planning & Management

Master Planning

Long-range facility plans that align building condition and capacity with the owner’s mission. Plans identify needs over 5-, 10- and 20-year horizons, group related work into projects and set the annual capital required to hold or improve portfolio condition.

  • Facility & Campus Master Planning
  • Capital Improvement Plans
  • Facility Condition Index Targets
  • Life Cycle & Renewal Forecasting
Project Planning

Development of fundable capital projects from identified needs. Deliverables include scope and phasing, cost estimates with escalation and contingency, risk and priority ranking, and documentation to support funding approval.

  • Scope Definition & Phasing
  • Cost Estimating & Escalation
  • Priority & Risk Ranking
  • Funding Strategy: Bonds, Grants & Incentives
Program Management

Owner’s representation across a capital program, with budget, schedule and funding tracked for every project. Includes setup of computerized maintenance management and preventive maintenance, so new equipment is maintained from commissioning forward.

  • Capital Program Management
  • Budget & Funding Tracking
  • Computerized Maintenance Management (CMMS)
  • Preventive Maintenance Programs
  • Reporting to Leadership

Energy & Sustainability

Energy & Life Cycle Analysis

Analysis of utility bills and interval meter data to benchmark facilities, normalize for weather and identify waste. Energy conservation measures are evaluated for savings, payback and life cycle cost, and verified after implementation.

  • Energy Analysis & Benchmarking
  • Energy Usage Planning
  • Energy Conservation Measures
  • Measurement & Verification
  • Building Systems Integration
  • Post Occupancy Evaluation
LEED Certification

Sustainability services from design through certification, including the commissioning, documentation and verification LEED requires. Performance is tracked after occupancy to confirm the design intent is met.

  • LEED Document Controls
  • Fundamental & Enhanced Commissioning
  • Indoor Air Quality
  • Measurement & Verification

MultiPoint Maintain

Computerized maintenance management (CMMS). Work orders, preventive maintenance, assets and parts inventory for every campus and building.

Work Orders

Request intake, assignment, priority and due dates, with status tracking, labor and parts cost, comments and attachments.

Preventive Maintenance

Time-based schedules that generate work orders automatically, so equipment is serviced on its required interval.

Assets & Inventory

Equipment records with location, install date, useful life and full maintenance history, and parts stock with reorder alerts.

MultiPoint Assess

Facility condition assessment. Building systems, deficiencies, photos and replacement costs, with the Facility Condition Index and capital outlook kept current.

Systems & Condition

UNIFORMAT II system inventory with condition rating, install year, useful life and remaining life for each system.

Deficiencies & Costs

Prioritized deficiencies with photos, cost estimates and recommended years, routed to maintenance as work orders or to capital planning.

FCI & Reports

Facility Condition Index by building and campus, a 10-year capital outlook, printable building reports and Excel exports.

MultiPoint Energy

Energy and utility management. Utility bills and meter data analyzed for benchmarks, anomalies and savings across the portfolio.

MultiPoint Capital

Capital planning. Needs, projects, funding and scenarios combined into a defensible multiyear Capital Improvement Plan.

Needs, Projects & Priorities

Capital needs with cost build-up, escalation, risk and a transparent weighted priority score, bundled into projects with funding by source and year.

Forecasts & FCI
