🎙️The latest Facilities Unfiltered podcast is out now!🎙️

The smartest capital planning teams don't try to fix everything at once. They prove the process works first, then scale with confidence.

In Episode 29, "Defending Your Dollar with Smart Data Pilots," Josh Lowe and Nic Guedenet welcome back Brian Carlisle of Partner Engineering & Science, Inc. to break down the importance of the data collection pilot in your capital planning arsenal.

→ Why a pilot isn't just a test run, it's where you build trust in the data, the process, and the team
→ How to avoid the two biggest pilot pitfalls
→ The moment when every dollar you spend becomes a decision you can defend

Did you know FM software is nearly 60 years old? 🤯

Turns out maintenance software dates back to mainframes and punch cards in the 1960s — decades before "FM software" was even a phrase.

Since then it's been an alphabet soup: CMMS → CAFM → EAM/FMIS → IWMS/APM → BIM → Digital Twin → AI. New labels, same core question: do you actually know what you have?

In this episode, hosts Josh & Nic dig into why bad data — not bad software — is still the industry's biggest hidden cost. One real example: 10,000 "overdue" work orders, and 6,000+ were for equipment that didn't even exist anymore.

🎙️This week on Facilities Unfiltered🎙️

We sat down with Kyle Christiansen to talk about what it actually takes to get reliable, defensible facility assessment data.

Some of the topics we covered:
→ Why senior assessors matter more than you think
→ The client prep work that makes or breaks your data quality
→ What happens when nobody owns the data after delivery
→ How a pilot project saves you from compounding errors across 600 buildings
→ Why bids on the same RFP can range from $30K to $300K

Kyle's done FCA and PCA work in 49 states and 6 countries and is currently leading an ASTM committee for FCA standardization. He had opinions. Tune in now to listen.

The number one reason facility condition assessments fail? It happens before anyone sets foot on site.

At AkitaBox, we build software that helps facility teams and AEC firms capture building data, track asset conditions, and turn FCAs into dynamic capital planning tools. That's why conversations like this one matter.

On this week's Facilities Unfiltered podcast, Shay Rankhorn (Partner at Facility Diagnostics, former 2022 ASHE President, 27 years in healthcare FM) joins Josh and Nic to unpack what goes wrong in FCA scoping, why a $350K capital project can balloon to $800K overnight, and how facilities pros can stop being the one "who cries wolf" to their C-suite.

Real talk on:
→ Why owners often don't know what they actually need from an FCA
→ The difference between a static PDF and a dynamic tool that changes the conversation
→ Horror stories that prove infrastructure debt always collects interest

🎙️The latest Facilities Unfiltered podcast is out now!🎙️

You ever watch someone try to explain to a board why they need $5 million for "D50" when all they really needed to say was "HVAC"?

In this episode, Josh and Nic dig into why our industry has a habit of overcomplicating facility data — and how that complexity actually gets in the way of the people who need to use it most.

From classification systems that take 1-2 years of fieldwork to learn, to CFOs writing off $600K in deferred maintenance because they didn't know what "cladding" meant, the cost of complexity is real.

The good news? AI and smarter tools are giving us the ability to keep it first grade simple on the front end while still maintaining the rigor on the back end. The data can finally meet people where they are.
