Integrated waste and utility optimisation across multi‑tenant and multi‑site portfolios

FM teams juggle service levels, occupier expectations, and cost control across complex estates: offices, industrial parks, healthcare, education, and mixed‑use assets. Waste streams range from commercial and confidential waste to WEEE and periodic hazardous arisings. Utilities are a major spend and carbon driver. Consistent standards and reliable reporting are essential.

Waste Consult partners with FM providers and in‑house estates teams to deliver independent waste management and utility audits that align with SLAs, KPIs, and contract commitments. We build portfolio‑wide frameworks that still respect local operational realities.

Our FM methodology

We baseline current waste and utility performance by asset, region, and supplier. We design standard operating procedures for segregation, storage, and collections, and specify reporting formats and cadence. We integrate supplier KPIs, exception management, and continuous improvement loops, giving visibility to both client and occupier.

Services for Facilities Management Include:

• Portfolio‑level independent audits and asset‑by‑asset action plans
   
• Standardised SOPs, signage packs, and training for soft‑services teams
   
• Confidential waste and data‑handling compliance for office estates
   
• Utility procurement, consumption analytics, and bill validation
   
• Multi‑supplier tender planning, consolidation, and benchmarking
   
• Simpler Recycling readiness and Duty of Care governance
   
• KPI dashboards: recycling, cost/1000 sq ft, service failures, and carbon metrics
   
• Waste equipment strategy (balers/compactors) and maintenance oversight
   
• Mobilisation support and due‑diligence for contract transitions
   
• Ongoing governance: quarterly reviews and improvement roadmaps
