In eerste instantie wilde men op bais van de resultaten van de conditiemetingen en meerjarenonderhoudsplanning de verdere strategie van het patrimonium vormgeven. Freestone gaf aan dat de technsiche staat slechts één van de vele beslissingscriteria is om een vastgoedstrategie te bepalen.
The City of Leuven owns a very diverse portfolio to support its policy. In the past, this was often approached from the point of view of the policy domains, which each managed their own facilities.
This led to management in ‘silos’, whereby on the one hand an overarching strategy was missing, and on the other this opened the door to inefficiencies owing to the fragmentation.
Because the City of Leuven's Buildings Service was gaining greater autonomy as regards the maintenance of the buildings, and because the available resources were insufficient, the City of Leuven wished to transform itself into an active real estate manager.
Knowledge transfer of methodologies and tools for practical use were a major core principle for this assignment and the choice of Freestone as a partner.
