For over a
year now, ENGIE has been providing Facility Management services to more than 30
armouries across Quebec, some located outside metropolitan areas. Managing this
real estate portfolio of more than a million square feet specifically includes
technical maintenance (hard) and auxiliary (soft) services as well as a
significant project management component to modernize architectural components
and building infrastructure. While a large network of subcontractors has been assembled
to deliver the broad range of services required, an experienced internal
management team has been assigned to this contract with one hub in Montreal and
the other in Quebec City. The ENGIE call centre, operating 24/7, ensures that
all armouries can access emergency service at any time, anywhere in the
province.
Our
contract with Defence Construction Canada is also one of our largest facility
management assignments in North America, for which ENGIE has implemented and
upgraded several tools and processes associated with service delivery. For example,
use of Planon’s web call centre captures data in real time on types of user
service requests, to guide effective budget planning, measure service quality and
ensure friendly delivery of preventive and corrective operations from the
previous month. Based on an innovative supply model that seeks greater private
sector involvement in daily operations, at the best quality-price ratio, the
contract model also includes several performance indicators that allow the client
to measure performance quality.
