Do you actually know what technology is in your buildings?
With changing occupier demands and the growth of AI adoption across real estate businesses, the question of "What data can I get from my buildings?" is becoming increasingly important to our landlord clients.
From sustainability and ESG reporting to the tracking of the net promoter score from buildings, the digital demands on commercial real estate are evolving. The rise of AI and large language models is changing how people interact with buildings, creating new expectations and requirements for the technology and services they provide.
Historically, the data and solutions within buildings have not been a consideration for landlords and asset managers, as this has been led by the operational teams or occupier requests. However, our clients are taking an increasingly proactive role in demanding more innovation and data from their buildings. But many are not sure where to start, as the marketplace holds more than 10,000 technology solutions.
We understand that every building is different and so have different needs depending on the asset plan or strategy. We approach each one with this in mind, starting with an audit of the existing asset as the baseline benchmark for the strategy going forward. Because you cannot improve what you do not measure.
Landlords taking control of the procurement process then allows for consistent data collection through selected technology partners and economies of scale pricing.
Trustek offers a range of services tailored to your needs. These are the options best suited for you.
Digitally enabled buildings can reduce service charge costs and are better at attracting and retaining occupiers. Occupier expectations around data and digital experience have changed in the AI era, and your buildings need to keep pace.
We work on both. We specialise in retrofitting existing buildings and have delivered digital building consultancy on more than 1m sqft of new construction projects. We also work across entire portfolios, as auditing a portfolio enables centralised procurement with economies of scale pricing, and gives you consistent, accurate data across every asset. It also surfaces anomalies that may be hiding within your OpTech.
Yes. Technologies like smart metering, building management systems and occupancy sensors collect the data you need for ESG reporting, energy performance and benchmarks such as GRESB. Occupiers increasingly need the same evidence for their own ESG and B Corp commitments, and buildings that can provide it automatically are more attractive to lease. Our audit shows what data your building already captures, what is still collected manually and where the gaps are.
Yes. We carry out independent technology reviews so you understand what you are acquiring, what may need investment and whether it supports your asset strategy.
We start by understanding your asset's technology requirements and your internal data platforms, so integration risks are identified early. We then create a bespoke RFP and take it to a marketplace of more than 10,000 PropTech companies. We review, score and compare every submission and share our recommendations in a report. Once a solution is selected, we can also support its deployment.
