Leighton Contractors select QFM for Aspire Schools, SE Queensland

Leighton Contractors has selected Service Works Global’s QFM software application to manage the reactive and planned maintenance tasks and asset management for the Aspire Schools project in South East Queensland.

Aspire Schools, owned by Leighton Contractors and the Commonwealth Bank of Australia, was selected in 2009 to design, build and maintain seven new schools in the rapidly-growing South East Queensland Corridor. It has recently completed construction and opened two of the seven schools.

 “We chose QFM because of Service Works’ extensive experience in the global PPP/PFI market,” says John Hesketh, General Manager for Leighton Contractors’ Facility Management Division.

“We work in long term partnerships with providers such as Service Works to deliver complete project services to Public Private Partnership (PPP) and non-PPP clients across Australia and New Zealand. Partnerships such as these help us to deliver ‘whole of life’ value for our clients,” comments John.

“QFM software is an important part of our offering in the South East Queensland Schools PPP Project because it provides comprehensive real-time performance monitoring and management and transparency on service delivery to the project stakeholders. In addition, QFM software incorporates a complex performance calculation tool,” he says.

“By computerising the maintenance schedule and managing the works activities, the system is able to monitor our delivery so we can demonstrate that we are meeting the high level of service standards expected over the project’s 30 year management term.”
