Business continuity has become a core office-selection question. Backup power is important, but it is only one part of the reliability picture.
Verify continuity building by building
- Generator capacity and what it actually supports
- Water backup and storage
- Fibre providers and redundancy
- Air-conditioning continuity
- Access control during outages
- Lift operation where relevant
- Security systems
- Maintenance and recovery procedures
Park-level infrastructure is not always building-level infrastructure
A strong Park does not guarantee that every building has the same generator, water or connectivity specification. These details should be confirmed on the exact premises.
Consider the cost of disruption
For client-facing businesses, professional services firms and regional headquarters, a day of lost productivity can cost more than the monthly difference between two buildings.
Robert's perspective
I would rather identify continuity requirements before shortlisting than discover after a viewing that an otherwise attractive building cannot support the operation.
