After salaries, properties and facilities management are probably the greatest costs to most organisations. So, the choice of buildings you rent, their location, and the way you occupy and manage that space, can have a huge impact on your cost base.

The problem these days, is that for both small and large organisations, market change is a constant, and everyone is running to simply stand still. Mergers and acquisitions, agile competitors, innovation and new technology, can all upset the best laid plans. So, for many businesses there is no time for a strategic approach to property and FM, leaving many in a constant state of limbo.

Q3 really understands what it means to face these challenges, and we have the experience, knowledge and a proven approach to not only advise and guide you on creating a property and facility management strategy, but also to implement it. We’ll take away the massive distraction of FM and allow you to concentrate on your core activity and your customers.

We Listen, Analyse, Plan, and Implement - Taking away the Stress

A group of three people engaged in a discussion over blueprints at a table, focused on their project.

In the frantic world of modern business, sometimes organisations don’t even realise the problems they have with property and FM. It’s not their focus and it’s off the radar, because organisations may not have the right team, adequate resource, or the knowledge and experience to identify and address the issues.

Many organisations turn to a facility management consultant to help bring order and direction and develop the FM strategy, but consultants can only partly solve the problem. At Q3 we connect the strategic and tactical requirements of a facilities management service, to develop a solution that addresses your challenges and is uniquely aligned to your organisation’s current and future needs.

Q3 is unlike other facility management providers in this respect, because we make it a priority to listen and understand your situation, before defining the solution. We have taken this consultative approach successfully with numerous first-generation outsourcing contracts, including organisations such as Embark, Maximus and Catapult.

We work collaboratively, listening closely to our clients, assessing their challenges, identifying potential pain points (both present and future) and working together to define and agree the potential solutions.

Q3’s three-step approach focused on your business

It’s a three-stage approach where we first analyse, to seek out the issues and identify gaps. Then we plan, making sure our plans align with your corporate goals and culture, before finally, implementing a solution.

Q3’s consultative methodology embraces not only the business infrastructure and its operational assets, but also focuses on productivity and wellbeing of people, health and safety, deployed technologies, and compliance in relation to regulations and legislation.

We also work with you to develop joint goals, ensuring business continuity, maximising value for your organisation, embedding industry best practice and incorporating the latest prop tech.

When you’re running a business full-on, Facility Management can appear complex and problematic, and frankly, a bit of a distraction. But it needn’t be a nightmare for your organisation, because working with us ensures it can be simple, because you know everything is in safe hands.

Facility Management Services shaped on your goals and objectives

Q3 has facility management experts with knowledge of virtually every sector and we know how to create a robust, FM strategy and how to shape a bespoke FM contract solution that is flexible, scalable and will work for you.

A well-constructed outsourcing contract brings other benefits too, such as improved operational efficiency, reduced risk, improved workplace productivity while contributing to your organisation’s own journey to decarbonisation and Net Zero.

Testimonials

I just wanted to send in my thanks to Emma, who helped me on Saturday when my Mum passed out in front of TK Maxx. Emma was very friendly, calm and efficient, I don't know what I would have done without her. She was so professional and knew exactly what was needed I couldn't believe it when screens turned up and a wheel chair, all organised by Emma without making myself or especially my Mum feel stupid or an inconvenience. Please can you pass on mine, my Mum's and family's thanks to Emma, she is a star and a very kind person.
