What’s the value of a smart building?

In an increasingly competitive market, being “better connected” than the building down the road is a no-brainer. Why? Because a property fitted with super-fast fibre is going to pique the attention of dynamic businesses with healthy budgets.

In chapter 2 you’ll find out how connectivity helps not only to increase your returns but also the wellbeing of your tenants.

By the end of this chapter you’ll have a better idea of the best approach to your portfolio.

There’s a range of apps and companies that can help your buildings to become ‘Smart’. But, why should we use apps? Because they’re more convenient than doing things the “manual” way? Because they’re quicker, and can be significantly less expensive in the long term than traditional methods. In chapter four we’ll broaden your knowledge of smart building apps and how best to utilise them.
