Real property assets need dedicated resources, purposeful structures, defined policies and processes, and robust governance to ensure proper stewardship and long-term value creation. This means developing the departments or teams that are dedicated to managing and operating the portfolio as a primary function, not off the corner of their desk. Creating aligned real property strategies that link to the organization’s strategic vision ensures alignment of goals and a portfolio of assets are a functional part of the organization’s operations.

An integrated plan allows you to see the forest through the trees and create long-term value.  It is easy to get lost in the day-to-day operations of your real estate portfolio; we help you take a holistic view of your assets and develop the plans and strategies that ensure your portfolio works to advance your mandate.  We provide honest, independent, non-biased, and professional advice by selecting, prioritizing, and controlling resources and initiatives to improve your portfolio while meeting your strategic goals and objectives.

Organizations have much to lose if their assets are not updated and managed. Asset management structures allow you to use resources efficiently, identify unnecessary costs, plan against risks, and track performance.  Working from the strategic to the tactical, we help you develop strategies, plans, and actions that improve your asset’s life and utility.

Optimizing assets using a structured approach can significantly reduce costs and improve cash flow.  Our experts oversee an asset’s lifecycle (planning, acquisition, maintenance, and disposal) to ensure it is fully optimized.  It provides healthy and sustainable growth, increased utility, and lower maintenance costs. This preventive maintenance gathers information for decision-makers to manage delays and overruns.  ISC determines the most effective use of assets for your organization by balancing efficiency, reliability, and risk to minimize the asset’s total cost of ownership. 

A business case is a key governing document that sets out the ‘why’ and the ‘how’ of your real estate projects.  You need someone who can distill a wealth of information to tell your initiative’s story.  It includes the past, present, and future, presenting decision makers with enough information so they are confident in the direction you are intending to take.  Business cases present the available option, show how the preferred project’s benefits outweigh its costs, and how execution will make a difference.

We understand the enthusiasm for a new project, but mistakes can be costly. Taking a step back with an independent advisor helps to see the project, problems, and benefits from different angles and provide a solid foundation to move forward.  A feasibility study is an independent assessment that examines a proposed project’s considerations, including operational , scope, schedule, technical, economic, financial, legal, and environmental characteristics.  The feasibility study helps decision-makers see the potential benefits, disadvantages, barriers, and constraints that could affect the project’s outcome.

Transactions can be complicated and costly without an expert working closely with you and your team. We can help you realize the most value of your initiative from beginning to end.  From acquisitions and divestitures to mergers and joint ventures, our experienced professionals help you plan, execute, and integrate a well-done project.
