Outdated and inefficient asset management systems can cost investors hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Industry leaders Napier & Blakeley|Emancium, have joined forces to launch an innovative, cloud-based asset data management platform to enable accurate, efficient asset registration and management – and maximum returns.

We’ve all heard the saying “You can’t manage what you can’t measure”, but do we sometimes take this too literally?

Historically, Building Management Systems with elaborate metering infrastructure and dashboards are used for data gathering.  Focused on operating profiles and consumption, these outmoded systems overlook key lifecycle planning data such as equipment condition, depreciated values and operational risk.

Do any of these sound familiar?

• out-of-date building data and images
• multiple versions of files held in various locations
• limited data control and access
• sketchy asset registers and unsophisticated depreciation schedules

Inaccurate and incomplete information typically results in higher insurance premiums, management fees and service costs – and unclaimed depreciation refunds.

The message is clear, manage your data and maximise your savings.

Enter EmanciumASSET, a highly-evolved cloud-based asset management system.  Instead of numerous versions of individual files, often with conflicting and obsolete information, EmanciumASSET provides a complete, current and easily-accessed database. Maintained and viewed from mobile devices, with watertight security and flexible data configurations, the immediate and future benefits are immense.  Substantial savings can often be immediately identified and realised, freeing up capital to be reinvested in lifecycle management.

Leveraging Napier & Blakeley’s market leading experience and our unique EmanciumASSET, our customers can produce condition, capital expenditure and other performance reports at the push of a few buttons. It also provides the ability to benchmark portfolio performance and against market best practice, unlocking further opportunity for savings and driving continuous improvement.

Our experience has clearly demonstrated that investing in a single-source, accurate ongoing data management system is recouped many times over with immediate and ongoing returns.

will provide specialised advice in relation to the efficient operations and lifecycle management of building assets including the identification, development, facilitation and validation of sophisticated and innovative financial and engineering solutions designed to reduce operational costs, manage risk, improve yield and increase asset values.

The acquisition strengthens Napier & Blakeley’s existing position in its world class provision of property due diligence services as well of benchmarking buildings for energy efficiency, operational performance and future capital expenditure. It also sets Napier & Blakeley apart in the use of the unique IT based platform.

Napier & Blakeley Emancium will be closely integrated with the Napier & Blakeley business, but will trade as a separate entity within the group – as it comes with software developed to not just collect data on buildings, but also store it within a secure cloud based environment.

Once stored, our subscribing customers can access the data which can then be analysed and applied in many different ways. Importantly, the flexibility of the system allows for simple updating of information specific to a building. This enables the avoidance of the often used spread-sheet for data retention, which very quickly becomes out of date when multiple copies are distributed and used by various stakeholders.

One sweep of a building using the Emancium tool will enable the production of:

• Asset registers with photographic, location and bar-code identification 
• Energy and performance benchmarking for equipment and systems 
• Detailed tax depreciation reporting 
• Replacement cost assessments for insurance purposes 
• Detailed condition audit per item 
• Future capital expenditure forecasts – on an item and system basis 
• Current operating costs benchmarking 
• Benchmarking of a building from a tenancy attractiveness perspective 

With the data collected and stored, building owners can become subscribers to receive benchmark data on their building or portfolios, enabling the identification of business best practice and a pathway to drive continuous improvement. 

Napier & Blakeley itself, can then assist in the building’s evolutionary process with their quantity surveyors, project managers and building services engineers.

Emancium brings with it established relationships and existing contracts, including the development and facilitation of major building retrofits designed to improve NABERS ratings, specialised advisory roles for Building Management Systems and Integration and Measurement and Verification support for Energy Performance Contracts.

The founders of Emancium, Craig Ryan and Stuart Winton, will continue to lead the new entity as Executive Directors of Napier & Blakeley Emancium. Between them, they have over 50 years experience as leaders in the industry. Peter Frith and Alastair Walker will join Stuart and Craig as Non Executive Directors.
