New Website

New website – we made it!

/in , , , /by

After months of intense work on our brand new website, we are now LIVE!

It’s been a really good process for me to work on this project. As a quite new member of the company, it’s been a great way to get to know MainManager and our people a little better! Our values, identity and story, clients and products. Our headquarter is in Iceland, I’m a Norwegian graphic designer, working in the Danish office, an office that sometimes fills up with Icelandic colleagues. A very nice Icelandic man runs the Norwegian office in Oslo. Needless to say, our language/communication is a bit funny at times. My Norwegian is starting to get pretty strange, and my Danish isn’t really that up to speed… Some in the Icelandic office speaks Danish, but not all, so most of the time our company language is English. Or Scandinavian… a great mix of it all.

Anyways, the first version of our new website was made in English. Then we used our combined language skills to translate it into Icelandic, Danish and Norwegian. Our certified partner in the UK is FM180.

The progress of process…

Our last webpage was dated, and a bit difficult to navigate. We wanted the new site to be more up-to-date, more crisp and clean, but most of all, we needed it to be easier to use for existing and  new customers.

As those of you working on various bigger or smaller projects out there might know; even though most of the time things are great, and everything is just working like a dream, at times you hit ‘the wall’. I have had a few bumps on the road. Nothing serious though, and mostly things that gave new knowledge to me – and to my colleagues. I believe that to be a good thing, even if it might feel frustrating at times : )

As most projects, we have been working against the ticking clock at times, trying hard to connect our tree offices, and come together to wrap this up. SO, getting to launch day is such a wonderful feeling! We’re really happy with the result and hope you all will find it easy to use.

”Probably the best beer in the world”

/in , , /by

The Carlsberg Group Real Estate department have decided to digitise important areas of the maintenance of their building portfolio. The implementation starts with a pilot project to test and verify future processes before the full implementation of MainManager early 2018, and an expected BIM-import of Carlsberg’s new HQ by early 2020.

MainManager has been chosen to deliver the new digital processes for preventive and reactive maintenance at Carlsberg, and a comprehensive space management module has been added to the solution for the 63.000 m2 of office and warehouse facilities in Copenhagen. Carlsberg is updating and digitising all drawings before they are uploaded to MainManager in the early autumn of 2017.

During the implementation process all employees will be key stakeholders and major contributors to the changes and new processes to be implemented at Carlsberg.  Here at MainManager we are extremely proud to be included in these changes.

Finn Chabert, Real Estate Manager, explains: “In the evaluation of the different IWMS-solutions in the market, it was important that the digitisation of our workspace should make the daily execution of our work much smarter and more agile. We believe that MainManager supports simplicity and that they understand how to make the processes tangible and easy to understand for our employees and colleagues.  Long term, we are also very excited to see how the build of data in MainManager will support informed/smart decision-making in the future.”

EPD and BIM – MainManager shows the way

/in , , , , /by

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has initiated an international project with the goal to make Environmental Product Declaration(EPD) data available through Building Information Modeling (BIM).

The project will be based on a joint case study conducted by MainManager in close co-operation with Standard Norway, Standard Danmark, Catenda (Norway), Framkvæmdasýslan (Iceland) and Statsbygg (Norway).

At the ISO commitee meeting for constuction (ISO/TC 59) on October 9th, the decision was made to launch a new international standardization project to make EPD data available in BIM.

An EPD is a concise document which summarizes the environmental profile of a component, a finished product or a service in a standardized manner.

The case study work was made possible by a grant from the Nordic Innovation fund. The group worked diligently for two years on theoretical proposals on how future standards can comply to the digital world within the building industry.

A particular standard was used as a pilot and our findings are now being used as a foundation for the new ISO standard by the ISO commitee.

We are really looking forward participating in the project ahead. Watch the video and learn more about the project.
