Facilities & Real Estate Savings Playbook
A savings playbook for facilities & real estate translates category best practice into a prioritized action list — what to attack this quarter vs. what belongs in the annual plan.
Facility contracts (cleaning, security, maintenance, leases) run multi-year and rarely get benchmarked mid-term. Benchmarking labor hours, capping CPI and unbundling consumables save 8–14%.
SourcingHub interviews you in 5 minutes, cross-references your spend and supplier concentration with facilities & real estate benchmarks, and produces a ranked opportunity list (lever, estimated savings %, effort, time-to-value).

- Scope, square footage and service frequency

Frequently asked
Typical realized savings in facilities & real estate range from 6–20% depending on maturity and last-renegotiation date. The playbook shows the range and points at the levers that most likely apply to your situation.
Nothing heavy — annual spend, number of suppliers, % concentration in the top 3, and last renegotiation date is enough to start. SourcingHub asks the questions one at a time and fills in benchmarks where you're unsure.
No — it's the first step. The playbook prioritizes which categories and levers deserve a full RFQ, should-cost or renegotiation next.
The playbook is built from your answers, not a template. Recommendations cite the answer they came from ("Because your top-3 concentration is 82%, renegotiation risk is high..."), so stakeholders trust it.
