Asset & Facilities Management Advisory Services

When construction ends, the real life of a building begins. The operational phase often brings challenges just as complex as design and delivery. That’s where MBM’s asset and facilities management team steps in to provide clarity and direction.

We focus on making assets perform at their best, every day and over the long term. From smarter procurement decisions to strategies that improve tenant experience, our team helps you balance immediate needs with future resilience. The result is reliability, sustainability, and true value from your investment.

No two assets or clients are the same. MBM tailors solutions to suit the objectives of both public and private sector organisations, managing assets of every purpose, structure, and scale. With our expertise, you gain the confidence that your asset will not only operate effectively today but thrive well into the future.

Where the groundwork is laid to define needs, costs, and service models.

Every successful project starts with a clear case for investment. MBM partners with both government and private sector clients to test feasibility, prepare robust business cases, and assess the most suitable procurement options. By combining financial insight with deep industry experience, we help decision-makers weigh alternatives and shape strategies that deliver long-term value. Once the direction is set, we create the frameworks that bring clarity to delivery. From budgets and forecasts through to tailored specifications, KPIs, and contract structures, MBM prepares documentation that defines how asset and facilities management services should perform. Our approach has become a benchmark across Australia’s major projects, giving clients confidence that expectations are clear from the very beginning. To ensure transparency and affordability, MBM provides detailed cost inputs for Public Sector Comparators, operating budgets, and financial models. We work alongside legal and commercial advisors to identify risks early and establish a strong foundation for evaluation. The result is a roadmap that not only secures project confidence but also gives financiers, developers, and stakeholders the certainty they need to move forward.

Advising through the selection, structuring, and financing of service delivery.

The procurement stage is where strategy meets the market, and getting it right is critical. MBM supports clients by evaluating bids not just on price, but on design outcomes, service delivery models, and the long-term capital and operating costs. This ensures every proposal is tested for value, practicality, and alignment with project goals. During negotiations, we assess the implications of departures on design and construction, asset management, and facilities management obligations. Our due diligence identifies high-risk or high-cost areas early, validates D&C and FM costs, and contributes to value management workshops. The result is a clear understanding of where risks sit and how they can be mitigated before contracts are signed. Beyond transaction advice, MBM helps clients strengthen their own asset management and FM capability. From advising on internal structures and resource levels to developing processes, procedures, and systems, we ensure organisations are equipped to manage their assets effectively once the deal is done.

Oversight during mobilisation and into operations to make sure service outcomes align with expectations.

Once services move into operation, the focus shifts from planning to performance. MBM advises on the full spectrum of facilities management services, from cleaning to catering, and security to specialist functions such as logistics, hospital services, and materials management. Our role is to ensure that day-to-day operations run smoothly while staying aligned with the expectations set at the contract stage. In complex environments like PPPs, MBM provides ongoing support to both government and Special Purpose Vehicles. We assist with the administration of contracts, monitoring performance against obligations, and managing the many moving parts of service delivery. This oversight helps maintain accountability, transparency, and confidence across all parties. When changes inevitably arise, MBM steps in to guide negotiations and variations. Through audits, performance reviews, and practical advice, we make sure that adjustments protect both service quality and financial stability. The result is a smooth transition into operations and long-term assurance that facilities continue to deliver value over their lifecycle.

Ensuring assets and services continue to deliver value across their lifecycle.

Long after a project is delivered, the true test lies in how well facilities and assets perform. MBM carries out detailed performance reviews and audits to identify gaps between contractual obligations and day-to-day delivery. Our observations and recommendations give clients a clear pathway to service improvements so facilities continue to meet expectations and deliver value over time. We also advise on building maintenance strategies that balance immediate needs with long-term resilience. From preventative and reactive maintenance to minor works and lifecycle replacement, MBM helps organisations optimise their assets, remain compliant with statutory requirements, and protect their investment across the asset’s lifespan. For financiers and asset owners, MBM provides due diligence support for refinancing and equity transactions. Our reports, trusted by many of Australia’s leading project finance participants, strengthen applications for financing and inform second-generation bids. This independent assurance ensures that stakeholders make decisions with clarity, confidence, and a full understanding of both risks and opportunities.
