About Consulting

Strategic Consulting Services 

Newmark Knight Frank is the world's leading operations and real estate consulting firm, serving businesses who seek best practices, innovative thinking and thorough analytics. Our unique business model integrates skill sets, technology tools and analyses typically performed by various consulting, real estate, architecture and project management organizations. The benefit of this approach is a partnership with a service provider that has the technical resources to solve complex operations and real estate issues with the ability to fully execute our recommendations on a global scale. Newmark Knight Frank's goal is to reduce our client's operating cost structure while improving service to its internal and external customers. Our model has proven that there is unrealized value in every business, where operations and real estate are not consolidated.

 

Newmark Knight Frank's consulting services integrate the function of the workplace with workforce location and workflow efficiency. The traditional nonintegrated real estate approach is tactical (transactional) and reactive, executing isolated and sometimes flawed operational strategies. Our model offers a transformational approach to optimizing global operations and facilities to ensure long-term structural costs are minimized, capital expenditures are reduced or eliminated, and short-term operating decisions are scalable within a comprehensive strategic plan. Leveraging our consulting practice, our business model produces bottom line savings for our clients.

Integrated Services to Solve Complex Business Problems

Newmark Knight Frank is the only real estate advisory firm that has built its model on consulting (demand for space analysis) integrated with a strategic real estate platform (supply of space solution). Our demand for space analysis focuses on optimizing both the function (i.e. people, process, workplace, technology and assets) and location (i.e. local, regional, national and international) of real estate. Because our solutions deliver real estate strategies that support business operations, we have consolidated skill sets that analyze both the demand for space and the supply of space into one organization. Newmark Knight Frank's consulting team comprises highly qualified professionals from diverse backgrounds; many have held operational roles in our clients' organizations as well as in corporate real estate.



Real-World Deliverables

Our analyses are driven by the business requirements of our clients. Unlike many real estate organizations, Newmark Knight Frank believes that the greatest value comes from maximizing the effectiveness of the space to support business operations necessary for our clients to create revenue with their products and services. Our deliverables are operational plans and location strategies which improve business processes and work flow that drive the requirements for people in the optimal location (need for demand for space analysis) and therefore result in the creation of space solutions in the best operating environment (supply of space solution). By understanding why our clients require change in their real estate portfolio, our professionals are better suited to deliver real estate solutions.

In-House Analytics, Technology and Service Integration

Newmark Knight Frank's NKF Analytics team provides innovative technology applications and subject matter expertise to resolve our clients' most challenging problems. The team has developed NKF Analytics tools, a suite of tools that enables seamless integration between real estate and business unit operations. NKF Analytics tools support our three main areas of value creation - optimizing the function, location and management of real estate. Our mission is to apply our subject-matter expertise in operations and real estate to drive total portfolio performance better and faster than any other management consulting or real estate advisory firm. Each of our Analytics tools is fully integrated with NKF Vision, a data integration system and dashboard developed by the NKF Analytics team, which uses aggregated information to feed all tools and the output of the tools reported in its system.
