The City of Richmond was selected as the recipient from more than 250 customers worldwide who have deployed VFA’s Capital Planning and Management Solutions (CPMS). A VFA client since 2000, the City of Richmond has helped influence leading capital asset planning and management strategies and advance innovation in the facilities management industry as a whole.
The City of Richmond’s facility management department implemented VFA’s capital planning software and building condition assessment methodology to develop long-range plans for the optimal management and care of public facilities. The City used VFA’s solution to achieve significant savings, from reducing emergency repair costs through more on-target planning to cutting material and procurement costs.
