The Digital Building Foundation for Facilities
Every facility has a few scary stories. A pipe bursts and nobody can find the shutoff. Equipment starts making a noise no one has heard before. Someone opens a ceiling tile and discovers a surprise left behind from a renovation 15 years ago. The drawings say one thing, the building says another—and the one person who knows the answer happens to be on vacation.
Suddenly, everyone is asking the same frightening question: “Does anyone know what to do?”
Join David Trask, Sr. Director of Customer Education & Success at ARC Facilities and Host of the Facility Voices Podcast, for a fun, story-driven look at the very real “horror stories” facilities teams face when critical building information is missing, outdated, scattered—or trapped in someone’s head.
Through real-world scenarios, David will explore what happens when teams can’t quickly find equipment information, shutoffs, drawings, emergency procedures or details from past renovations—and, more importantly, the practical steps facilities teams can take before the next surprise comes lurking around the corner.
Because the scariest thing in your building probably isn’t hiding above the ceiling. It’s not knowing what’s up there.
Attendees will learn how to:
- Identify the critical building information their teams need before an emergency.
- Document the surprises hiding above ceilings, behind walls and inside mechanical rooms.
- Capture institutional knowledge before experienced employees retire or leave.
- Keep equipment, shutoffs, drawings and renovation information current and accessible.
- Ask better questions when something goes POP, BANG, DRIP…or suddenly stops working.
- Build a more prepared team that knows where to look when something goes wrong.
Come for the horror stories. Stay for the lessons. Leave with fewer facilities nightmares waiting around the corner.
