Real estate is not only a big-ticket item – it ties up a large amount of capital and generates costs. In this context, value
management is as important as ever. A calculation alone does not add value – and certainly says nothing about how
necessary cost reduction goals can be met. This requires strategies that enhance the property’s strengths and diminish
any weaknesses. Increasingly, management decisions are based on calculating the value proposition of business units. Because of its scale, this applies particularly to real-estate business. But the prerequisite for successful value management is, of course, that the factors determining value are known. Transparency is essential – because you can only manage what you can measure.
Identifying drivers
Value management creates this transparency by analyzing the factors that determine value: the so-called value drivers.
Life-cycle costs are an example: During the utilization phase of the building, they add up to many times the initial investment. If these costs are analyzed on a value driver tree, it becomes clear that renovation investments have to be shown in detail – that is, broken down by trade and by system.
Value-oriented property management
Findings from value-oriented analysis of the current situation can be used as a basis for developing strategies and goaloriented systems for implementation in operational practice. And it is precisely in this critical area of transfer to practice that we see our specialist role in facility management.
