Can Buildings Bleed?...
Running a building is something that is familiar
to a great deal of our customers. Over the years
we have seen some of the pain our customers go
through when they are left with systems that
bleed money from the budget just because,
when the building was built, or replacement
system installed, the wrong choices were made...
Sometimes though, these choices were made for
the right reasons. We all known that preparation
is key to getting a good outcome, but in my
experience, checking on the long term implications
of installing systems that will be difficult to
maintain is often overlooked, as it appears cheaper
at the time of installation. The point here is that
you may think you have a bargain but you’ll pay
in the longer term, so pay now or pay later?
Read my blog article on this for
a more in-depth view. And take a
look at our Top Tips section on the
back page for further guidance.

Top Tips - Cut out & keep guide:
System Upgrade - Questions to Ask
If you are extending or adding to your security systems, then here are a few
top questions that you should be asking, or at least thinking about;
Its worth pointing out that everyone can be caught out at some point, but planning
reduces the risk of this happening to you and having the right partners in place will help.
If you could help by letting us know what you like or don’t like then we
really are listening, just email us on feedback@w-fp.co.uk or complete
our feedback form online. http://www.w-fp.co.uk/contacts/

Question Implication Why Financial
Have you involved the
maintenance company in
designing the alterations?
You could be missing
opportunities to save and
make the most of the money
you’re spending.
Your maintainer should
know your system(s) and
have a vested interest in
the work going well.
It makes sound financial
sense, in both capital and
labour time, spent dealing
with unforeseen issues.
What is the lifespan of the
proposed system?
You could install something
that goes obsolete next year.
Stability in supply and
support is vital for continuity.
You could be paying to
replace it prematurely.
Who is responsible
for equipment faults?
You could find yourself not
knowing who is responsible.
Because one contractor
could blame the other.
You could pay for call outs
that are unnecessary.
Do I have choice over who
can work on this system?
If you don’t you will
pay more.
Because there is little or no
market forces or competition.
Closed systems will cost up
to 300% more to support.
Who’s on your side? Without expert help you
could be caught out.
We all need trusted
partners.
Good partners want you
to be financially healthy.
