Facilities Asset Management in Ireland
Facilities asset management is knowing exactly what physical plant and equipment you own, what condition each item is in, what it costs to maintain and when it will need replacing. Elite Cleaning & FM builds that picture from the building itself across Ireland — asset detection, a physically verified asset inventory and register, condition grading with a costed lifecycle plan, and the ML10 software to keep it live. The register is delivered as structured data you own and can take with you.
Physical asset management, not financial
“Asset management” means two completely different things depending on who is using it. In finance it means managing investments and funds. In facilities and property it means managing the physical assets inside a building — HVAC plant, electrical distribution, pumps, controls, lifts and life-safety systems.
Elite Cleaning & FM does the second. If you are looking for a company to build and maintain a register of the plant in your buildings, forecast its replacement and keep it maintained, that is what this page is about.
What we deliver
Four services, one register
Each stands alone, but they are designed to run in sequence — you cannot plan a lifecycle for assets you have not found yet.
Asset Inventory & Register
A verified, physical asset inventory of everything in your building — every asset identified, located, photographed and graded, delivered as a structured asset register you own. The foundation every PPM schedule, lifecycle plan and FM budget should be built on.
Learn moreAsset Detection & Tagging
Finding the assets nobody has on a list, and making sure they can never go missing again. We survey the building to detect unrecorded plant and equipment, tag every asset with a scannable QR, barcode or RFID label, and link it to its record — so any engineer can scan an asset and see its full history.
Learn moreAsset Management Software
The ML10 platform — your asset register, PPM schedule, work orders, IoT sensor data and reporting in one dashboard. Included as part of the service rather than sold as a separate licence, and your data exports out whenever you want it.
Learn moreAsset Condition & Lifecycle
Condition surveys that grade every asset and estimate its remaining useful life, turned into a costed multi-year replacement plan. So capital spend is forecast years ahead instead of arriving as an emergency invoice.
Learn moreHow it works
From unknown to forecast
Detect
A physical sweep of the site finds assets no register knows about — plant added in past fit-outs, emergency replacements never logged — and flags ghost assets that exist on paper only.
Inventory & tag
Every asset is identified, photographed, located to room and zone, and given a durable scannable tag linked to its record. Make, model, serial, install date and criticality are captured.
Grade & forecast
Each asset is condition-graded and given an estimated remaining life. Replacement costs turn that into a year-by-year capital forecast you can defend to a board.
Keep it live
The register drives the PPM schedule, and every service visit updates it at source. It stays accurate because it is a by-product of the work, not an admin task on top of it.
Why our registers stay accurate
- The register is built by the people who maintain the building — every service visit updates it at source, so it does not decay the way an implementation-and-forget CMMS does.
- 37 years of cleaning and hard FM experience behind the survey, so criticality ratings reflect what actually takes a building down.
- Physical verification, not a desktop exercise. Every asset is seen, photographed and tagged.
- Your data exports as structured data at any time and imports into any CMMS or EAM you already run. No lock-in.
- Asset data sits in the same ML10 dashboard as cleaning audits and compliance, so the building reports as one picture.
Asset management FAQ
Asset management questions
What do asset management companies actually do?
In a facilities context, an asset management company identifies and records every physical asset in a building, tracks its condition and service history, schedules the maintenance that keeps it running, and forecasts when it will need replacing and what that will cost. The output is a verified asset register plus a costed lifecycle plan — so plant replacement is budgeted years ahead instead of arriving as an emergency.
Is facilities asset management the same as financial asset management?
No, and the shared name causes constant confusion. Financial asset management means managing investments and funds on someone's behalf. Facilities or physical asset management — what Elite Cleaning & FM does — means managing the physical plant and equipment inside buildings: HVAC, electrical distribution, pumps, controls and life-safety systems.
What is ISO 55000?
ISO 55000 is the international standard family for asset management, with ISO 55001 setting out the requirements for a management system. It defines how an organisation should align its asset decisions with its objectives — covering asset data, risk, lifecycle planning and continual improvement. A verified asset register is the practical starting point for any of it.
Where do you start if we have no asset register at all?
With a physical survey. Asset detection identifies what is actually installed — including plant added during past fit-outs that was never recorded — and the asset inventory captures each item's make, model, serial, location, condition and criticality. From there the register drives the maintenance schedule and the lifecycle forecast. There is no reliable desktop shortcut for the first step.
How much does asset management cost?
It depends on the number of assets, the complexity of the plant and the size of the site — a single office floor and a hospital are not comparable. We survey the building and quote a fixed programme and price rather than working on open-ended day rates. Where asset management is delivered alongside a cleaning or FM contract, the platform is included rather than licensed separately.
Do you provide asset management without a cleaning contract?
Yes. Asset inventories, detection and tagging, and condition and lifecycle surveys are all available as standalone engagements, including for organisations whose FM is delivered in house or by another supplier. The register we produce is yours as structured data and imports into whatever system you already run.
