Operational Estate Portfolio Reviews

Carter Jonas can advise on estate strategy across the whole of public- and third-sector property portfolios, including operational and non-operational property, investment and development opportunities, and rural assets.

Overview

Throughout our work, we focus on meeting key priorities and objectives, including One Public Estate (OPE) initiatives.

Our in-depth experience, gained by working as advisors to local authorities, central government and charities, has given us a thorough understanding of operational requirements and the ability to align this to corporate and property decision-making, in order to achieve optimum efficiency and reduce unnecessary costs. This is equally applicable across all operational organisations.

Our strategic property portfolio reviews are specifically aligned to the particular requirements and objectives of our clients.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer property asset management advice?

The primary role of a property management surveyor is to understand and help implement the client’s strategy for their portfolio. Our teams work closely with other colleagues across our multi-disciplinary business to deliver a considered and collaborative approach to property management, with the ultimate aim of driving up the client’s property returns.

What are the options for Metrics & Benchmarking?

A summary of the options can also be compared against key metrics, such as:

  • Square metres per staff member or full-time equivalent (FTE)

  • Desk to staff ratio

  • Running cost per square metre

  • Running cost per staff member/FTE

We can then benchmark these metrics against other organisations that we have undertaken similar work for, and provide a performance analysis. The outcome of this approach is a concise document that captures the future estate requirement, and plots the route through implementation with a preferred option that meets both the cost and quality aspirations of the client. This work is often done in tandem with staff consultation, relocation advice, and architectural and space planning, all of which Carter Jonas, as a multi-disciplinary business, can provide.

What is Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA)?

CBA is a simple way to bring the financial (NPC) and the non-financial (qualitative scores) together to calculate the cost per unit of benefit. The option with the lowest cost per unit of benefit therefore delivers the most benefits for the lowest cost, and represents the preferred option.
