The Capital Building, Liverpool
Following GSLs success in being appointed by Downing Property Services to manage The Capital Building, one of Liverpool's landmark office buildings, Thomson FM was appointed to undertake an inspection of the key elements of the M&E plant within the building and to compile a capital replacement plan for the forthcoming 10 year period.

Having recognised a potential condition issue with a lenth of pipework running throughout the building, we were also responsible for the completion of a ultrasonic pipe thickness test at intervals along this pipework in order to ascertain the level of risk associated with the pipework.

We presented the findings of our inspection and the anticipated cashflow forecast for the works to the client both as a formal presentation and as a report detailing the key issues with the M&E plant.

Bid Support (General)
Thomson FM have been appointed by GSL to provide bid support for a number of tender opportunities that GSL have been involved with.

Whilst the bids have tended to relate to education projects (primarily Building Schools for the Future schemes) we have also provided support to GSL in respect of other bid opportunities such as the commercial bid opportunity for the provision of FM services to Sutton Park House, UK Head Office for G4S Security Services and Cash Services.

Our role in respect of these bids has tended to relate to life cycle cost consultancy but has also included cost benchmarking, review of existing contractual arrangements, condition inspections and the development of FM service delivery strategies for the new opportunities.

Secure Training Centres (Medway and Rainsbrook)
GSL appointed Thomson FM to undertake building fabric and M&E condition surveys of all buildings at the Medway and Rainsbrook secure training centres managed and operated by GSL.

The results of the condition surveys were utilised to inform a forward maintenance plan which was then to be followed by the site teams to ensure that the condition of the buildings remained satisfactory and the performance and availability standards to which GSL were bound to operate were maintained.

Project Types: Condition Surveys
Condition Survey Standardisation
In order to develop a consistent approach and reporting methodology for condition survey activities in respect of their numerous live projects, GSL appointed Thomson FM to compile a standardised condition survey template.

The template that was ultimately generated by Thomson FM utilises standard BCIS elements and sub-elements to categorise remedial works but provides the flexibility for GSL to amend or customise the key data fields to suit each specific project.

In addition to the standardisation of the condition survey data template, we developed a number of reports that are automatically updated and provide a snapshot of the anticipated costs by year of expenditure, type of expenditure and BCIS element and sub-element.

This template has now been utilised in respect of a number of condition survey exercises and is reported to be working well and ensuring that the condition survey data returned is significantly more consistent than would have previously been the case.
