Capital Investment Programme – retail bank

on this page

Organizations wanting to maintain a sense of strategic readiness in their capital program find this is especially tricky during times of uncertainty. This is where robust program management processes can help. Building agility into the portfolio can result in greater resilience, sustainability and reduced costs.

AtkinsRéalis’s expertise in this area is being harnessed by a national commercial and retail bank. We have been appointed as the single source consultant to deliver on their annual capital investment program across an estate of over 1,000 properties (branches, offices and data centers). The program covers repairs and the replacement of end-of-life assets within the UK and Ireland. In 2020, this comprised 272 projects involving 161 properties. The projects included critical mechanical and electrical (M&E) replacements, life safety system replacements, asbestos removal, roof and facade replacements, and security enhancement.

There were a number of key challenges. We needed to understand the condition of assets across a large, diverse estate. And we had to ensure our delivered solutions met statutory compliance rules. Controlling the annual budget expenditure was crucial as was ensuring works caused minimal disruption to critical business functions. We also needed to progress the client’s net zero carbon (NZC) journey.

Our solution was to incorporate our smart investment planning (SIP) methodology. SIP is a unique approach that combines deep industry experience with an innovative optimization engine. It provides an evidence-based investment projection that ensures the right level of investment is delivered on the right assets at the right time.

We were also focused on driving value across the program, particularly ensuring minimal disruption to trading buildings. And, despite the Covid pandemic, our agile approach ensured that the program was safely delivered on time and on budget. In fact, we delivered on the target yearly budget spend in just 11 months. System upgrades ensured non-compliance was reduced. and we delivered investment projects to 10% more buildings than planned.

Our sustainability experts, who recently co-authored the RICS guidance document on embodied carbon calculations, ensured 2020 was a pivotal year for the program. Working in partnership to set agreed energy targets for our framework suppliers, we have helped achieve the client’s goal of NZC in just one year. Our expertise has also helped the client achieve a reduction in energy consumption of 20% in a year.

We also shared interactive, real-time dashboards with all stakeholders to help the client demonstrate how it both invests in environmentally sustainable assets whilst also achieving savings through reduced maintenance. And by utilizing our Navigator tool and developing value engineering solutions we achieved cost savings of more than £14m.
