Project Description:
The Estates Division 'operate' the University buildings by maintaining and servicing them, for example maintaining the plant and equipment, cleaning them, securing them, powering them and allocating space to activities, staff and students. It is unclear what the full cost of operation is, if this was known and benchmarked it would be possible to identify inefficiencies and potential improvements.
Project Outcomes/Outputs
* A Report on the analysis of existing data that enables an operating cost model to be calculated.
* A benchmark cost, possibly by building type, to be developed.
* Recommendations and business case for potential improvements.
