In a year marked by uncertainty and inflation, rising interest rates make it crucial to optimize the capital expenditure invested in transformative assets. Our member Cador share their expertise drawing from 40+ years experience in the sector.
Capital expenditure optimization is the key to enhancing a property's value, with a special focus on innovation, technology, and sustainability. These three parameters are key elements that need to be integrated into the investment to maximize the upside potential of the asset.
Amidst economic challenges, strategic capital allocation becomes even more critical, and a well-planned approach to asset transformation can lead to significant gains and long-term value appreciation.
Value Engineering
Construction companies like Cador have a crucial responsibility when it comes to maximizing capital expenditure (capex) and executing each task efficiently. The belief is that "one day less of work is one more day of profitability," leading to increased yield percentages and attracting tenants faster at better rental rates.
Value Engineering is at the heart of this approach, where the focus is not just on sustainability and improving the building's energy rating but also on optimizing the investment in the project. Cador's expertise lies in taking existing items and enhancing their value and technical specifications.
Even when all project specifications are provided by designers or decorators, there is still room for improvement through effective communication, coordination, and sharing market knowledge. Construction companies regularly come across innovative solutions that can elevate the quality and value of the project.
For large property owners seeking to reposition their real estate assets and investments amidst rising interest rates, Value Engineering becomes a valuable tool. By leveraging expertise in construction practices and staying updated with market offerings, Cador helps clients achieve their goals in a rapidly evolving landscape.
