Fixing contract risk before it becomes operational failure

About

FM failure isn’t a lack of effort. It’s a failure of design.Most PBSA and BTR contracts look great on a P&L - until they're tested in live operations.Misaligned scopes and unclear responsibilities create risk long before buildings go live.Marlow Grey provides an independent, supplier‑agnostic view of FM contracts, focused on where responsibility, risk, and cost actually sit.We fix the contracts that make performance possible.

Process

Risk focused advisory. No retainers.We only proceed where there is clear, measurable value.1. Stress test - comparing contract scope against how the portfolio actually operates.
2. Compliance check - testing contracts against real audit and statutory requirements.
3. Risk exposure - making unclear or disputed responsibilities explicit.
4. Roadmap - clear options to fix, restructure, or re‑procure.
We remove ambiguity before it becomes operational risk.


This work focuses on getting the contracts right, because that’s where FM risk really sits.


Services

Development‑to‑operations handover that does not break at mobilisation.
