SILA Launches FM360: AI-Powered Facility Management Consulting Service

SILA, a leading real estate services platform, has announced the launch of FM360, its AI-powered Facility Management (FM) Consulting Service. This innovative service is designed to help developers future-proof their projects by embedding design and operational efficiency, sustainability, and cost optimization into the design and execution phase.

Sahil Vora, Founder of SILA, shared the inspiration behind the product: “Having managed over 250 million square feet of real estate for close to 15 years, we’ve realized that many operational inefficiencies stem from design decisions made early in a project. FM360 was created to address that — it allows us to partner with developers at the drawing board stage to enhance operating efficiency, reduce long-term costs, help the asset age well, and improve the user experience.”

FM360 provides a structured consulting framework across six core areas, offering developers valuable insights before construction begins. These areas include:

- Design & Operational Review – evaluates traffic flow, serviceability, and user experience. - MEPF Systems Audit – assesses utilities, fire safety, HVAC, and renewable energy integration. - Amenities Benchmarking – optimizes recreational and community spaces. - 15-Year Common Area Maintenance Model – provides long-term cost projections for manpower, utilities, and maintenance. - Smart Systems & Sustainability – integrates IoT, energy efficiency, and ESG/WELL Gold standards. - Handover Toolkit – ensures a smooth transition from project to facility management operations.

Unique to FM360 is its use of AI and operational data from SILA’s nationwide portfolio to deliver design improvement strategies, Grade A+ benchmarking, vendor recommendations, and comprehensive MEPF audits. FM360 delivers actionable reports and tools, including design improvement strategies, comprehensive benchmarking, smart tech vendor recommendations, and a comprehensive MEPF audit. It also supports ESG and WELL Gold certification goals. The result: smarter planning, reduced lifecycle costs, and improved asset performance from day one.

“We go beyond theory,” added Vora. “Our insights are grounded in years of operational data. FM360 helps developers make better upfront choices, provides future residents with greater clarity on charges, and ensures buildings are built to operate smoothly over time.”

A key feature of FM360 is its Handover Toolkit — a structured set of manuals, drawings, and standard operating procedures designed to streamline the transition from construction to occupancy. It addresses one of the most common challenges in real estate: the disconnect between the developer’s project team and the facilities management team. By providing a clear and comprehensive roadmap, the toolkit ensures that the asset is set up for efficient management from day one and is better equipped to age well over time.

FM360 is offered as a specialized consulting engagement, distinct from SILA’s ongoing facility management services, and is available to developers, investors, and asset owners nationwide. With FM360, SILA continues its commitment to delivering smarter, more sustainable, and more liveable spaces across the country.
