As the warmth of summer sets in, it's an ideal time to take proactive steps in securing funding for your building maintenance projects. Deferred maintenance often leads to reactive and costly repairs, but it's time to change that narrative. Here are 6 steps to help you get your maintenance projects approved and ensure your buildings remain in top condition:
1. DON’T ASSUME YOUR CFO’s RESPONSE:
Times change, and so do organizational priorities. Present a well-researched proposal to your CFO, highlighting current financial benefits and long-term savings.
2. GET TO REALLY KNOW YOUR BUILDING:
Consider every detail of your building's envelope. Proper insulation, waterproofing, and reflective surfaces can enhance energy efficiency and savings.
3. DO YOUR RESEARCH ABOUT FINANCING:
Understand various financing methods and utility incentives, to present a comprehensive cash flow analysis to your financial department.
4. LINE UP YOUR RESOURCES:
Partner with experts who can help identify energy projects, perform savings analyses, and offer solutions to support your proposal.
5. ASK INTELLIGENTLY:
Address potential objections by presenting clear, financially sound plans. Communicate in financial terms and highlight the positive impact on building conditions and occupant comfort..
6. MAKE IT HAPPEN:
Break free from the cycle of deferred maintenance. Seek help, explore energy efficiency projects, and leverage savings to fund essential maintenance tasks.
