In a year of uncertainty and inflation, with rising interest rates, it is necessary to maximize the capex invested in transforming assets.
This will imply an increase in the value of the property, especially if it focuses on innovation, technology, and sustainability, three parameters that must be present in the investment to improve the asset’s value upwards, that is, improve the value upside.
When we invest to add value to an asset, our objective is to improve the yield or profitability of the property in percentage points.
Value Engineering
Construction companies like Cador are responsible for taking on the challenge of maximizing capex, executing each item in record time, because “one less day of construction is one more day of profitability,” and that helps the % of yield and to get a tenant in better time and with better rent.
We look for sustainable products that not only help the building improve its energy rating but also, considering the design, optimize the investment in construction (the capex). We apply Value Engineering; that is, we are experts in taking your items and improving them not only in value but also in technical specifications.
The large owners of real estate assets study the repositioning of these and the investment. For this, it is necessary to maximize the investment and amplify the capex invested, but how can it be done when interest rates are rising?: thanks to Value Engineering.
How can an item be improved when the specifications are given by the project, designer, or decorator? The answer is by talking, coordinating, and informing about the possibilities that exist in the market, which are being shown and taught to us construction companies daily.
The key to success
That Cador celebrates 43 years in 2023 implies a great expertise in the construction market that others are still acquiring and, above all, a knowledge of the materials that can lower the cost and maintain the technical specifications.
Another aspect that allows us to maximize investment and reduce response times is the extensive list of manufacturers that have been trusting and collaborating closely with Cador for all these years.
Having a team dedicated to design and architecture, up to date on the latest materials, and with the ability to create innovative and current designs in the different properties, also helps to carry out this Value Engineering, supporting the work of the project, designers, and decorators.
Likewise, at Cador, we have an innovation and sustainability department, dedicated to finding technological and sustainable improvements. This is the case of some products available in the market, such as thermodynamic cameras that measure the behavior of your clients, whether they are your employees or external personnel, facilitating the analysis and better use of spaces; or motion sensors, which help optimize supplies, achieving greater energy efficiency.
This efficiency can also be achieved from many other solutions: applications synchronized with the BMS of the buildings, anti-mite carpets or floors, oxygenating paints, colors that activate or reduce light according to the need and utility of each space.
In short, the way to maximize investment and improve the yield of investment in assets is done with Value Engineering and using technology and sustainability as innovation tools. Efficiency as the guiding concept of the project, both in the design (definition and study of spaces) and in the execution of the work, together with an improvement in the material used, means that with less we achieve more.
