BROOKLINE, MA, Feb 4, 2025 – Facility Grid and Quality Control (QC) solutions announced major enhancements to its industry-first Operational Readiness (OR) Platform.
These updated features strengthen Facility Grid’s position as the trusted platform for monitoring building systems and equipment during construction.
Facility Grid’s OR enables construction professionals—including Cx providers and general and trade contractors—to track, verify and report on the status of mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) systems in real time, ensuring seamless collaboration among stakeholders and delivering instant access to essential information for decision making and keeping projects on track.
According to the 2024 Construction and Hiring Business Outlook report, 53% of commercial construction firms have experienced delays or project abandonment, due to unexpected costs and rework during the later stages of the project. Facility Grid’s Operational Readiness Platform addresses this challenge by delivering real-time insights and streamlining the commissioning and turnover processes, reducing the risk of negative float and costly project delays.
“Facility Grid aims to transform manual, fragmented building system and equipment tracking methods and turnover processes with a streamlined, centralized solution that incorporates data analytics,” said Eric Forman, CEO, Facility Grid. “Our Operational Readiness Platform ensures that critical systems and equipment for high stakes projects—like data centers, hospitals and airports—are tracked and completed on schedule, with full transparency and accountability for stakeholders.”
Facility Grid’s Operational Readiness Platform stands out by monitoring building systems and equipment in detail. It shares this information with schedulers, project managers, and executives responsible for keeping projects on track.
Key features of the enhanced Operational Readiness Platform include:
- Accelerated Turnover Package
Gathers all necessary documents, images, and warranty details for building systems and equipment into one organized package. Simplifies handover steps and ensures everything is ready to go from day one. - Timeline Monitor & Schedule Sync
Monitors essential tasks and identifies potential problems or delays, allowing schedules to adjust and issues to be resolved on time. Connects Oracle P6 and Microsoft Project schedules with Facility Grid’s QC and Cx activities. - Comprehensive Audit Trail
Maintains digital record of activities, including signoffs, to remove documentation risks and provide accountability. - Procore Integration
Seamless integration with Procore allows access to equipment status, QA activities and commissioning details from within the Procore environment. - Asset Closeout Signoff
Initiates a final review process for one or more assets. Participants are informed and receive a report covering system or equipment details, data, parameters, document status, and records of readiness. A complete report is created for electronic sign-off and recording.
“The turnover package is a great resource for us,” said Alisha Thibodaux at Bernhard. “The folder structures are great and have all of the reports and information that the GC usually requests during meetings. On some of our larger projects, we are asked to submit several reports to show the progress of the project and last week, I was able to try out the turnover package during a meeting to do just that. It was a great success. The folder structure came in handy and everybody loved it.”
