Case studies
myBuildings helps you control your entire daily facility management workflow; from raising a maintenance request, to assigning work to approved contractors, to seeking quotes, through to job completion and accounts payable – all in the one solution.
Read below some examples of how clients are using myBuildings to streamline their operations and maximise their assets.
Beaconhills College
Maintaining the school grounds is a crucial activity for Beaconhills College because its philosophy is that the environment serves as the second teacher for the students. A safe school environment is conducive to learning; poorly maintained grounds can negatively impact the students’ attitudes towards their education and overall wellbeing.
The College has found myBuildings very user-friendly, with new starters able to understand the system and issue maintenance jobs within days of joining the department.
By having visible control of its assets and ensuring facilities are well maintained, the college can provide an environment that inspires and supports the growth and development of its students.
Lenmed Private Hospital
Lenmed operates 16 private hospitals across Southern Africa, delivering acute and specialist healthcare services. Their FM systems were paper based, so responses were slow and reactive maintenance spend was high. As Lenmed expanded across regions and disciplines, maintaining consistent standards became increasingly complex, and increasing audit scrutiny led to them looking for alternative solutions.
Since 2017, myBuildings has supported Lenmed in digitising and standardising facilities management and healthcare technology operations at group scale — without disrupting clinical workflows. They now manage more than 16,000 work requests per month, with response times down to same day from three days. They have reduced ad hoc spend by 30% and preventative maintenance is now 80% of workload, demonstrating a mature FM approach.
Attacq Group
myBuildings was deployed for Attacq Group, South Africa’s premier property group, in 2017. Their assets include the super-regional mall in Waterfall City, Lynnwood Bridge Precinct and Glenfair Boulevard in Pretoria, Garden Route Mall in George, MooiRivier Mall in Potchefstroom and the Cell C Campus in the Waterfall Logistics Hub.
With over 1056 tenants spread over 802,000m of lettable area, managing these needs is a daily operational requirement. From a simple leaky tap to a full scale disaster recovery plan, Attacq needed fast, accurate information, effective response and close monitoring.
By digitising the laborious check list process that it once had, Attacq have now extensive efficiencies across the board. Operations Managers can now systematically and proactively manage future OH&S inspections and schedule prompts to automate preventative maintenance. Jobs are now actioned seamlessly and average time to resolve queries has reduced exponentially.
Kelling Heath Holiday Park
and Woodhill Park
Kelling Heath Holiday Park and Woodhill Park are situated near Holt in the County of Norfolk, England. Both Parks have a number of privately owned Holiday Homes and Lodges. Sustainability commitments are at the forefront of the day to day operations of both Parks.
The teams at both Parks are now all users of the myBuildings platform. All assets in the Parks have been recorded in the myBuildings asset register, including the fleet of maintenance vehicles. Where possible, QR codes are being deployed onto each asset for ease of tracking and reporting.
The contractor management module in myBuildings enables them to ensure contractors on Park are compliant and up to date with insurances required. All relevant contractor documentation is housed within myBuildings for insurance purposes.
Holiday Home Owner requests for general maintenance are logged immediately into myBuildings and then assigned to the appropriate maintenance team member or a specialist contractor.
