Welcome to Facility Planning Services with ICS
The customized services at ICS integrate the planning, funding, construction, and ongoing operations of your facilities as ICS helps you throughout all phases of a building project. ICS works on projects from the ground up or anywhere in-between. From facility assessments and planning to construction management, and even ongoing building commissioning, ICS helps build a bright and successful future for their clients.
Below are descriptions of the planning services offered.
Facility Assessment
Before developing a plan, you need to understand your needs. A comprehensive facility assessment optimizes long-term facility investments. We identify building conditions and needs, review and consolidate facility data, create a detailed assessment, and provide recommendations.
Strategic Procurement
Our approach to strategic procurement works alongside your financial and operational leaders. We focus on material supply, identify cost-saving opportunities, develop a sourcing strategy, and negotiate with suppliers.
Asset Plans
A comprehensive review of all building assets and systems helps improve efficiency. We analyze those assets, understand their lifecycle, and provide costs and recommendations.
