Our Observations & Recommendations Guide on our past assignments remained a yardstick for many Organizations to chalk out affective Policies on their Fixed Assets and its day to day management right form its procurement till its disposal.

Right from gathering all relevant documents and after compile the same in to useful formats and tables, we scrutinize its contents for accuracy and exclusivity; through this vigorous process we are able to establish details like; missing and omissions in the documents submitted also convey our clients of the gaps; i.e. detailed Analysis; BOQ Vs Final Payment Certificate Vs Purchase Orders Vs Contracts & Invoice – thought this process we are able to identify the documents and list them for inclusion in to the FA Register.

Also the FA Register clearly classifies Tangible, In tangible, Taggable, Non Taggable Assets including all information relating to MEP/Loose Assets which contributes major chunk of your costs. Large pool of MEP Assets are managed through our QR Code Convention which is an integral part of your Asset Register. The tagging of MEP Assets are segregated to taggable or non taggable either on the basis of its cost or on the basis of its type and size including the maintenance requirements from time to time.

The most updated, reconciled, accurate FA Register could be accessed by all stake holders; The Owners Representative, Projects, Engineering, Facility Management, Procurement, IT and Finance Departments, subjected to access rights set for each of them- Including by and for the Operators. The general practice followed has many flaws; The FA Register helps you to understand the types and gross/net book value of your capital assets at group/bloc level, but are unbale to determine the quantity and size of your Fixed Assets since they are not accounted individually and custodian and location details are unknown- same is the case with their individual movements ( acquisition, transfer, disposal etc. ) while it is important that the users should be able to identify the parent and child assets and manage them effectively in their day to day movement- which is not the case in general. Also each Department maintain their own data to manage and report them – but the type of information always remained in complete and different – utilizing our expertise, we streamline the whole process to make it a single referral document that could be used by the stake holders on daily basis.
