Assets for Brisbane 2032 must deliver value beyond two weeks of competition. MBM’s asset management frameworks ensure venues and precincts are designed, maintained and transitioned with legacy at the forefront. Our expertise provides whole-of-life expenditure forecasts, renewal strategies, and conversion pathways to avoid “white elephants” and guarantee community benefit long after the Games.

Certainty of cost is critical under immovable Olympic deadlines. MBM provides robust cost planning and benchmarking informed by global Games experience and local market knowledge, ensuring clients have accurate forecasts, clear cashflow visibility, and independent validation at every stage from business case to delivery. Our advice helps delivery partners make confident decisions under compressed timelines and in complicated economic markets.

London 2012 demonstrated the importance of robust risk planning, with £2.7bn of contingency safeguarding delivery. MBM will apply this lesson through detailed risk registers, comprehensive benchmarking, and stress testing of scenarios to anticipate cost and schedule pressures. We will provide assurance frameworks that help clients allocate and manage contingency effectively, reducing shocks and avoiding reputational risk.

A Games of this scale is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to showcase Queensland’s climate leadership. MBM advises on embodied carbon, lifecycle emissions, and sustainable procurement, embedding resilience and ESG compliance into venue and precinct planning. From material selection to circular decommissioning strategies, we will support Brisbane 2032 in meeting sustainability targets and leaving a positive environmental legacy.

Queensland faces significant labour and subcontractor shortages leading up to 2032. MBM helps clients design procurement models that promote collaboration, secure capacity, and manage cost escalation. We will work with delivery partners and contractors to align incentives, bundle projects, and engage local suppliers – ensuring the supply chain is mobilised to deliver under time-critical conditions.

MBM has adapted its proven IP&R framework to the Olympic context, helping GIICA and stakeholders align Games infrastructure planning with state and community priorities. This framework provides transparent reporting against cost, schedule, and legacy outcomes, giving government and Delivery Partners a clear line of sight across projects and performance.

Our real-time cost library and benchmarks enable holistic assessment of capital and operational costs, from acquisition to decommissioning. This ensures investment decisions balance upfront affordability with long-term financial sustainability, providing confidence to key stakeholders and legacy operators.

Olympic infrastructure requires coordination at a program level. MBM supports Olympic stakeholders in designing governance and delivery models that prioritise resources, optimise sequencing, and accelerate procurement. We advise on program bundling, strategic sourcing, and reporting frameworks that enable delivery partners to deliver efficiently while embedding social and regional procurement benefits

The Games demand flexibility in facility management and operations models. MBM advises on PPP structures and FM strategies that cover maintenance, cleaning, waste, catering, and security. We support clients to select the right delivery model, whether it be in-house, outsourced, or hybrid – that balances risk, ensures operational readiness for Games-time, and provides for smooth transition into post-Games operations.

Overlay elements are often overlooked and represent a prominent cost-overrun risk. From temporary seating to toilets, AV, security, accreditation, and live-site facilities, these critical components must be appropriately agile – with clear forward-thinking planning for the procurement, delivery, management, and decommissioning in place.

MBM’s integrated QS and Building Consultancy teams cost, procure, and manage overlay works with precision, ensuring functionality for Games-time while planning for efficient decommissioning. We also advise on legacy conversion of venues and villages into housing, education, or community assets, reducing long-term costs and enhancing public value.
