Facilities

Facilities and real estate management have emerged as a key focus area for public and private sector organizations. Markon’s planning approach is designed to effectively implement strategies through feasibility analysis, lease versus own evaluation, repair or replace analysis of alternatives, consolidation plans, and portfolio optimization. Additionally, our cost estimating and scheduling offerings are essential to the facilities planning process.

Design management is a proactive strategic tool that combines project management with good design practices. While design is by nature a creative process, Markon applies management processes and tools to ensure that facilities not only meet organizational requirements and expectations, but provide the foundation to innovate and lead, the foundations of agility in response to changing market conditions and emerging stakeholder needs.

Managing construction programs is a core competency for Markon. Our successful track record includes small office renovations and major campus redevelopments, projects ranging from a few hundred to millions of square feet, for the public sector and for commercial clients. We were recently recognized as an Engineering News-Record  (ENR) Top 50 Program Management Firm and Top 100 Construction Management-for-Fee Firm, delivering construction programs within the US and internationally.

The quest for innovation and efficiency never ends, and ultimately the facilities portfolio is a component of any strategic pursuit. Markon professionals are skilled at applying the mix of financial planning, logistics coordination, change management, and relocation oversight skills, providing the kind of agile platform that results in successful real estate strategy execution.

Modern buildings are technological marvels, housing complex networks of mechanical, electrical, telecommunications, automation, and management systems. Balancing operations with organizational productivity requirements and cost pressures becomes a juggling act – a key go-to role. Markon facility managers deliver the experience that allows them to keep a strategic perspective in the midst of day-to-day pressures.

Markon professionals recognize that facilities management systems such as building automation, computerized maintenance management, and enterprise resource planning, produce reams of big data that can be used throughout the facilities life-cycle to plan, design, construct, and operate buildings more effectively. Analyzing this data offers opportunities to improve energy use, maintenance planning, and service contracting, to name just a few focus areas.
