Eliminating the Burden of Ownership
Smart Procurement Decisions
Whether New Build or Refurbishment, the cost of ongoing maintenance of estate facilities is a very significant financial burden. Yet this need not be the case with some intelligent procurement decisions at the outset.
Fence Maintenance and Replacement
The initial cost of wooden fencing looks quite cheap. But a few years down the road and wood begins to look very expensive compared to Recycled Plastic Fencing.
A cost comparison study of wood vs recycled plastic walkway by WRAP* makes this very clear when calculating the true cost of ownership over a 25-year period.
Housing Associations, such as ‘Your Housing’ in Manchester and ‘Whitefriars’ in the Midlands, have concrete evidence of this after several years of replacing wood with recycled plastic.
“Over the last 7 years, we’ve not had to replace one single panel, even after a car went through three panels. The concrete posts broke but we just replaced them, picked up the recycled plastic panels and put them back in,” John Stanners, Housing Manager at Your Housing Estate in Partington, South Manchester.
Your housing used their annual maintenance and replacement budget to gradually replace all their fencing with recycled plastic fence panels. Materials were supplied by Kedel Limited and the panels were fabricated using local unemployed young people through the ‘Big Life Group’ that runs Skills2Build.
This had an additional advantage that the youngsters enjoyed a sense of pride at seeing their own work appearing all over the estate. A great disincentive to vandalism.
