Pro bono: YMCA Central's asset management strategy

Alex Wallin

WT is proud to provide pro bono support to YMCA Central, a national community organisation committed to building strong kids, families, and communities. The WT Advisory Team is thrilled to assist YMCA Central in achieving its mission.

Alex Hampshire, Michael Brown, Michael Philipsen, and Tom Lock have developed a comprehensive asset management strategy for Pilmuir House, a welcoming and affordable accommodation facility in Lower Hutt, Wellington, New Zealand.

What are the benefits of an asset management strategy?

WT’s asset management services provide YMCA Central with expertise to achieve financial savings, align with social responsibility goals, and ensure the building’s long-term viability through a sustainable asset management strategy.

An asset management strategy enables the YMCA Central team to assess key risks, identify opportunities, forecast capital expenditure, and plan asset maintenance, supporting data-driven decision-making.

How WT implement an asset management strategy

The implementation of the asset management strategy is split into two stages to maintain efficiency.

First, review and assessment, including both desktop and on-site evaluations of the building and its assets, and gathering data on asset quantity and condition.

The second phase entails a 30-year capital expenditure forecast, a preventative maintenance schedule, and identifying risks and opportunities to optimise building maintenance and reduce long-term costs.

WT’s final report will help the YMCA Central team make informed decisions for the building's long-term management.
