Over 30 Years of Professional Experience

With over 30 years of professional experience and 21+ years of managerial expertise, I have managed large-scale operations in the public and private sectors across facility management, site and mixed-use management, technical operations and maintenance, project management, construction project coordination, procurement, supplier and contract management.

At the core of my professional approach is not merely operating a building, but treating planning, design, construction, commissioning, operation, maintenance, renovation and cost management as a single continuous lifecycle.

As a professional manager and leader, I offer this experience and these capabilities through facility and process management consulting to industrial facilities/factories, mixed-use projects, residential sites and companies. With the TÖYAK (Facility Scaling Management Analysis Criteria) methodology I developed, I provide Business Doctor services to enterprises.

Maintenance, Repair and Technical Operations

My approach in technical operations is built on establishing preventive, planned and predictive maintenance systems together to guarantee the continuity of the facility, rather than intervening after a breakdown occurs. I have managed the operation and maintenance processes of HVAC, central heating-cooling, elevators, generators, transformers, water systems, biological treatment, fire systems and special technical infrastructures.

  • Preventive and predictive maintenance setup
  • HVAC, generator, transformer, elevator
  • Fire and biological treatment systems
  • Energy efficiency and sustainability

Project Management and Construction Coordination

On the project management side, I have carried out end-to-end project coordination from needs program to master planning, from design to tender and contract processes, from site management to quantity surveying, progress payments and final account controls. In total, I took part in the planning, design and construction processes of 1,300,000 m² campus master plan, over 650,000 m² of superstructure and dozens of km of infrastructure projects.

  • Master planning and needs program
  • Tender, contract and site management
  • Quantity surveying, progress payments and final account control
  • Infrastructure and superstructure coordination

Procurement, Supplier and Contract Management

I approach procurement and supply management not merely as price-taking and purchasing, but as a strategic process where cost, quality, time, risk and total cost of ownership are managed together. In the public and private sectors, I have managed procurement processes for goods, services and works, as well as technical services, maintenance-repair, construction, equipment and operational needs.

  • Strategic procurement and supply
  • Contract and supplier management
  • Total cost of ownership analysis
  • Public and private sector tender processes

The Right System, Lasting Success

For me, successful facility or project management is not just getting things done on time, but establishing the right system. My goal is to create and operate buildings and facilities that are safe, sustainable, measurable, efficient and with costs under control.

Today I use the experience I have with the understanding that facility and site management, technical operations and maintenance management, project and construction management, procurement, supplier and contract management are not independent of each other but form a single integrated management system.

What Do I Offer You Concretely?

Not talk, but measurable results in the field. The three headings below are the concrete value propositions decision-makers need most.

Free Preliminary Scan

1-Day Preliminary Inspection at Your Facility

Do you need an objective outside eye on operational efficiency, maintenance and energy costs at your facility? Let me just come to your facility, conduct a 1-day preliminary inspection, and present a mini report showing your hidden costs and risks. I do not charge for this preliminary scan.

What People Wonder

The questions decision-makers ask most often and their answers. Click the headings below to see the details.

Facility management consulting begins by putting your facility's current operating model on the table and producing a clear cost and risk map. I identify where the leaks are and which risks are being overlooked. I don't just deliver a report and step back; I stay actively involved in the field, implementing the improvement plan together with you. Wherever you're stuck or sense a bottleneck, I'm right there with you. Let's have a coffee for details — just get in touch.

Cost optimization in industrial facilities isn't about cutting expenses but about correctly reading where the money goes. From energy consumption to maintenance and repair, from procurement processes to personnel and subcontractor costs, we handle every item with a Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) approach. With the right interventions and operational tightening, achieving an average of 15% to 30% savings across these items is absolutely possible.

Dues optimization in mass housing sites is achieved by restructuring common area energy consumption, supplier contracts and service levels. One of the greatest concerns of site residents is budgets and constantly rising dues. The leaks here typically hide in common area energy consumption, poorly managed supplier contracts or inflexible service levels. By renegotiating supplier management and existing contracts, we implement formulas that lighten the dues burden without compromising service quality.

Business doctor service starts, just as in human health, by diagnosing where the chronic pain lies in the company. With the TÖYAK (Facility Scaling Management Analysis Criteria) methodology I developed, we scan the facility from top to bottom. We numerically reveal how much process errors cost the annual budget, then deploy clear prescriptions and implementation steps one by one to end that chaos. Once the diagnosis is clear, recovery becomes inevitable.

The consulting process starts with a completely free, introduction-focused first meeting. Then, depending on the size of the facility, an average 1-2 week preliminary analysis clarifies the current situation. Based on the resulting picture, a 3 to 12 month consulting engagement or a directly project-focused work schedule is planned according to your needs. We don't make plans just to shelve them; we walk the process together until results are achieved.
