The Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet

Australian Government Agency Locations

OmTrak turned a complex and disparate portfolio into a simple and efficient one

The Situation

The Department of Prime Minister & Cabinet is responsible for a large portfolio of properties that provide accommodation for various government agency workers.

These properties are situated in far remote areas across the Northern Territory, Queensland, and Western Australia.

The Department needed a way to conduct:

  • A condition assessment of all properties to identify immediate and ongoing maintenance requirements
  • A compliance audit on all buildings to ensure safety for both occupants and communities
  • An assessment of each property’s structural capacity to withstand cyclones-An evaluation of the replacement value of each building
  • A physical location survey to ensure each property was positioned within the correct boundaries

The Challenge

The sheer geographical distance between the properties posed immense challenges. It was impossible for the Department to gain and collate data across their portfolio in a centralised and efficient manner.

To date, all data had been stored in disparate systems and only on a site-by-site basis. This made it extremely difficult for the Department to source information quickly and make strategic decisions on the most effective way to deploy resources.

Ongoing management of the properties was ad hoc and time intensive. Importantly, having data stored in various systems and formats made it very complex to apply for Federal funding to complete any neccessary work that was identified.

The One Connected Solution Approach

The OmTrak solution, aided by our experienced Consultants, brought all the key information together in a single, centralised platform that is easy to access.

Consulting

We quickly assembled a team of specialist contractors to undertake all the required assessments, audits, and surveys across the portfolio.

We established the optimal logistical program to complete the work within the tight 8-week timeframe, and provided ongoing expert advice at every stage of the project.

OmTrak

All key building intelligence was collected, consolidated, and centrally stored. Every critical piece of information was instantly shared with all contractors and the client through our intuitive online platform.

This gave incredible visibility and, for the first time, the Department had a strategic overview of all sites.

MPlan

The condition assessment information fed into MPlan to quickly generate a comprehensive 10-year maintenance plan for every property.

At a glance, the Department could see what maintenance or asset work was required across their portfolio as a whole, and what was most critical.

The Result

OmTrak is a next-generation solution for the Department of Prime Minister & Cabinet. Our approach turned a highly complex, disparate, and geographically diverse exercise into an incredibly simplified, collaborative, and highly efficient outcome. We changed what was previously thought possible by delivering a smarter, more functional way to assess and manage their property portfolio.

  • The Department has instant and ongoing visibility over the condition, compliance status, structural capacity, and precise location of every property
