BuildingIQ Inc. (ASX: BIQ), a tech-enabled services business, today released its Appendix 4C and Market Update for the second quarter of FY2019 ending 30 June, 2019.
BuildingIQ’s President & CEO, Michael Nark, indicated the Company had seen another quarter of growth in bookings as it continues to benefit from the high level of new construction activity in Australia. “Our contract bookings were up 78% when compared to the same quarter in FY2018. A significant percentage of this new business growth came from the Greenfield market. Whilst we recognise, and have previously noted (ASX announcement: 19 July 2019), that delays in the commencement and ramp-up of major Greenfield projects has delayed the receipt of revenue, our strategic commitment to the market is delivering results. In the Established buildings market, we continue to see sales in North America, and currently the United Arab Emirates is showing opportunity with more than 1.2m SF of buildings now on the 5i Platform.” “While the growth in our customer base is positive, we recognise the importance of maintaining a strong focus on cash and ensuring our costs are tightly managed. Looking ahead, our focus will remain on delivering financially astute growth and operational efficiency.”Operational Information
The number of buildings active on the 5i Platform continues to grow. During the past quarter, 31 new buildings were added. Services are now provided to more than 1,325 buildings globally, up from just 869 buildings three years ago.
New business globally is being secured through opportunities in a number of sectors. In Australia, the Education and Health sectors are presenting new Greenfield opportunities. We recently secured contracts to deliver Managed services for two schools - the new Oran Park High School and Primary School and Wenona School and a new hospital – Somerset Private. BuildingIQ has also recently completed work on the new West Coast Eagles Precinct project, which was contracted in 2018.
The Commercial building sector in North America is providing sales opportunities in the Established building sector, with BuildingIQ recently securing new business for the delivery of complete 5i Services to more than 2m SF across three (3) new customers in the Northeast. BuildingIQ services continued to deliver documented operational and energy savings for customers. Cumulative savings for Q2 FY2019 totalled $5.15 million, an increase of 12%.Future Updates
