Our established strategic alliances
enable the variation of resources depending on the needs of a particular
project. Architects, engineers, interior designers, and various contractors
who share our values are brought together in a partnering relationship to form
appropriate project teams.
MCLAUGHLIN & ASSOCIATES
has assembled a team of recognized experts into a professional affiliation.
This team is made up of various individual firms providing a wide array of
services.
MCLAUGHLIN & ASSOCIATES
is not, in itself, a one-stop-shopping place for all
your facility needs. We have key areas in which we can offer a high degree of
skill and experience. But the arena of Facilities Management is vast, and the
technology & knowledge base needed to stay on the cutting edge is always
changing and expanding.
The many interrelationships between each discipline
therefore require a broad and knowledgeable perspective. But even more
important, the specific skills and expertise in each area must be readily
available on the consultant team, or the client will eventually realize the
impact of their absence.
The principals of these affiliate firms meet
regularly to discuss the needs of our client base to see which team member may
be best suited to address the individual needs of the client. The result is a
very powerful mastermind resource in support of our client’s best interests.
Each of these member firms has its own substantial
client base, and this adds greatly to the level of experience and creativity
brought to the table.
It is important to realize that real
estate related costs are second only to human resource costs in the day to day
operation of a company. But, for those costs to be controlled there must be an
effective orchestration of People, Place, Process, & Technology
in order to achieve the best
results. In the arena of Facilities Management there are three definitive
categories of services we provide.
Corporate Facilities Strategy
-
includes life-cycle requirements, strategic master planning, business continuity
planning, detailed usage analysis, & profitability enhancement.
Facility Design & Occupancy - includes
detailed program analysis, space planning, maintainability, work process
enhancement, cost/benefit analysis, tenant advocacy, and ergonomic evaluations.
Existing Facility Maintenance
- will include cost evaluations, facility tune-ups, automated facility
management systems, RSI evaluation & prevention, and preventative maintenance.
Some of our alliances consist of the
following firms:
