Trusted Guidance Through Challenging Times

“It really has been exceptional having Carmen’s guidance and wisdom to steer us through an incredibly overwhelming period in HR.

Carmen is exceptional at providing advice and guidance for the betterment of the organisation’s strategic direction, she has guided me as a new Director and executive (my spiritual advisor!) and has always taken time to handle the ‘small stuff’ with the utmost care and highest of integrity. I am in awe of her ability to appreciate our processes and policies (even if they are outdated and not as they should be in an ideal world) and then to apply them practically to get a solution that works for us. It is a balancing act that won’t be matched by anyone else I am sure.
 
The state I was in upon contacting you for immediate assistance this time last year was nothing short of panic and stress! I have learnt a lot from Carmen and she will be sorely missed by myself and my team.”

Supporting Growth with Strategic Asset Insights

“Good News Lutheran College is currently undergoing a major growth phase. This growth is supported by a comprehensive Master Plan under which aging assets must also be managed and resources prioritised. CT Management Group’s Asset Condition Assessment Program has enabled us to accurately assess the condition of the assets we currently have and put a comprehensive plan in place for major, cyclic and operational maintenance. The Program has also prepared a budget for us in respect of these costs over a 10 year time horizon.

The team at CT Management Group collaboratively worked with us on site to conduct the inspections and obtain the data required. Their report is comprehensive, thorough and robust. A strong data set and the accompanying financial budget means that we can now more accurately plan for and deliver future needs, update our Master and Asset Management Plans and make evidence-based decisions regarding asset priorities.
 
Good News Lutheran College highly recommends that Schools talk to CT Management Group about their Asset Condition Assessment Program and the benefits that it may provide for their School.”

A Trusted Partner in School Asset Planning

“The Geelong College has used the services of CT Management Group to undertake a Building Condition Assessment and Maintenance Plan for The College, specifically the Junior, Middle and Senior Schools. While The College is in the process of developing its Master Plan and accompanying capital works program, we continue to recognise the need to preserve, maintain and strengthen the critically important educational and historical assets within our educational environment.

CT Management Group’s Program has enabled us to plan our major, cyclic and operational maintenance over the next 10 years. The CT Management Group Report is not only practical and easy to read, it provided us with a 3, 5 and 10 year maintenance schedule, photographic evidence for each building that was assessed, along with specific maintenance costs for the next 10 years in carrying our these works.  CT Management Group’s approach is pragmatic, efficient and highly professional, and has given us data that can now be incorporated into our existing asset management and finance systems.
 
The Geelong College highly recommends the services of CT Management Group to any School who wishes to improve and accelerate its asset management program.”
