Programming/
POR SFO
We are
programming specialists. Our experienced facility programmers
will quickly assess the client’s space needs and provide
a detailed report clearly defining the quantity and quality
of space needed. The process involves both a “top
down” and “bottom up” look through the
client agency. The approach includes “visioning”
sessions with senior management to identify key strategic
business goals that should be reached after the new space
is occupied.
Using
the “Balanced
Scorecard Method” we help translate the
organization’s vision into a set of performance indicators
in the following four categories: customer needs, financial
goals, business processes and education/growth. By monitoring
current performance and efforts to improve, the agency can
evaluate its ability to grow and learn. This strategic approach
to an agency’s needs helps guide the functional and
statistical analysis by focusing on future improvement and
ensuring not to replicate current performance obstacles.
With
the vision of the future defined, then we can move to quantify
space to support the vision. Here we size workspace, describe
how workspaces adjoin, (workflow and adjacencies) and quantity
the number of space types by enumerating enough space types
to meet productivity and performance goals. This process
ensures that the agency solicits the right amount of space
for the current and future planning horizons.
We define
the quality of space by generically describing the construction
and workflow performance requirements of each space type.
The Performance Specifications are brief, bulleted descriptions
that list performance criteria for critical construction,
finish and furnishing components. Floor, wall, ceiling,
utilities, life safety and furnishings assemblies and subcategories
organize the specifications.
The
final result is a report suitable for a GSA Leased space
acquisition, congressional funding request or other space
acquisition process suitable for attachment to the GSA SFO
for leased space.
