Collaborating with Abacus Group to optimise indoor environments

What started as an opportunity in 2019 to service an Abacus Group shopping centre on the Gold Coast quickly grew into a portfolio of retail and commercial sites throughout QLD and NSW.

This expansion, in both size and scope of services (to include HVAC, fire, HVAC hygiene and building performance optimisation) is a result of the collaborative partnership formed with Abacus Group to help create exceptional value and experiences for their tenants.

“Abacus facility mangers actively engage in the management of their assets and encourage two way communication and collaboration,” said Sam La Rocca, Precise Air’s Director National Sales. “They look to us, as experts in our field, for advice, but they also understand that a solution can have many options and are keen to discuss and agree on the best alternative.”

Over the years, Precise Air has partnered with Abacus to help them achieve strategic goals, like helping to bridge gaps in AS 1851 compliance and working with them to bring new properties up to standard, particularly where previous owners were reluctant to spend/ have not spent money.

Monthly sustainability meetings between Precise Air’s Building Performance Optimisation Manager and Abacus Group’s Sustainability Manager focus on identifying trends and opportunities to improve energy efficiency and NABERS ratings through optimisation (which is part of our standard offering) and cost effective upgrades.

“Maintaining a comfortable and safe environment for our tenants and the community is our top priority,” says Paul Finney, Abacus Group’s National Operations & Facilities Manager. “Precise Air’s approach to lifecycle asset management and compliance, building optimisation and proactive maintenance programmes has helped us minimise downtime and ensure the smooth operation of our facilities.”

For facility managers, having a reliable and efficient mechanical and fire services provider is of utmost importance. These managers are responsible for overseeing a wide range of critical operations, including heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, electrical systems, plumbing, and fire safety equipment, forecasting and managing budgets.

“We understand the importance of creating optimal conditions within shopping centres and commercial buildings,” explains Sam La Rocca, Precise Air’s Director National Sales. “Our goal is to ensure that the mechanical and fire systems are operating at peak efficiency, providing optimal comfort levels while minimising energy consumption and environmental impact.”

With their proven track record, dedication to quality, and a shared vision for creating safe and comfortable environments, we look forward to continuing a positive, collaborative relationship with Abacus Group.
