Accelerating Capital Projects at ISS

Across ISS we have been focusing on Capital Projects – stimulating thought-provoking discussions and sharing pioneering solutions across borders from asset replacement to extensive refurbishments and office fit-outs.

Why? Because we constantly seek ways of improving how we manage our client’s Capital Projects as part of an integrated facilities management solution. This ensures clients can focus on their core business while we bring the best solutions to the workplace to create places that work, think and give.

We provide holistic solutions at client locations through insights from facility services delivery, workplace design expertise, and extensive capital projects experience that create multiple benefits. Our global reach and capability mean we can accommodate projects of all sizes; we manage and deliver quality results on time and within budget. Whether our clients seek to upsize, downsize, re-imagine, or re-furbish; upgrade systems to implement sustainable practices; or re-think a property footprint to get more output from less space, we are ready to support them from pre-need to post-completion.
