Local Authorities

• Are you currently meeting, or trying to improve, your Comprehensive Performance Assessment (CPA) rating?
• Have you achieved Client Charter status?
• Are you addressing the Gershon efficiency agenda?
• Is your supply chain managed effectively?
• Do you have a distinctive partnering policy?

Running a Local Authority or Arms Length Management Organisation (ALMO) is about more than simply administering services.  The Government’s efficiency drive has meant an increasing workload for managers within authorities who now not only have to provide services but also generate a considerable quantity of data to demonstrate that they are delivering best value services with year-on-year improvement.  Talk to BDB about our ability to bring out the best in your staff and processes.

Housing Associations

• Have you achieved Client Charter status?
• Do you need to introduce partnering into your organisation?
• How well are your assets (property, people & supply chain) managed ?
• Are you addressing your efficiency agenda (Gershon)?
• Are your residents adding value to your tender interviews?
• Do you have a distinct partnering policy?

Running a Housing Association or Arms Length Management Organisation (ALMO) is about more than simply administering services to tenants and leaseholders. Government’s efficiency drives mean an increasing workload for managers within housing associations who now not only have to provide services but also generate a considerable quantity of data to demonstrate that they are delivering best value services with year-on-year improvement.  Talk to BDB about our ability to bring out the best in your staff and processes.

Schools and Colleges

• Are you planning a programme of capital works?
• Would you like assistance balancing your construction and maintenance budgets?
• Are you looking for assistance with estate management?
• Do you need to develop an estate strategy plan?

Schools and colleges are communities in their own right.  They have particular requirements based on the need to conduct major works outside of term times, creating short ‘windows’ of opportunity.  Few schools have the luxury of unlimited budgets and many sites feature buildings from different periods, requiring fundamentally different approaches.  These factors combine to create specific challenges which BDB’s experience and expertise is able to manage.  Talk to BDB about Estate Management, Building Services Management, procurement and construction consultancy.

Contractors

• Does your organisation have the right culture for partnering?
• Are you integrating effectively with your supply chain partners?
• Do you require training to perform at tender interviews?
• Do you require Bills of Quantities to be produced?

Contractors face the difficult task of meeting the ever-changing requirements of their clients in the private and public sector.  However, contractors do have a role to play in helping clients achieve quality markers such as Client’s Charter and meeting the Gershon Agenda targets – the willing and innovative contractor is far more likely to win work.  Talk to BDB about strategic approaches to clients, training needs and ways to manage risk.

Land Agents

• Do you require advice about land use viability?
• How can you maximise the value of your land packages?

End User Clients

• Are you looking to extend your current property?
• Are you looking to develop a new site?
• Are you concerned about maintaining your business during periods of construction?

You have a vested interest in your property developments; they are central to your business process.  While you may need to extend or re-locate your premises, you will need to maintain ‘business as normal’.  Talk to BDB about how we can help you develop your business and generate more income form your property assets.
