ABX helps building owners modernise ageing buildings without relying solely on traditional upfront capital. We assess the building, identify opportunities, fund eligible upgrades, deliver the transformation and optimise performance over time.
ABX works with private equity and investment partners to fund suitable building upgrades. The investment is then repaid through the savings and operational efficiencies generated by the improvements.
For eligible projects, ABX can fund the required upgrades, significantly reducing or potentially eliminating the need for traditional upfront capital from the building owner.
Yes. The system reduces operating costs from day one, and a fixed portion of those savings is used for the agreed repayment.
No. Bank finance, government grants and incentives can still play an important role. ABX provides an additional source of private capital, allowing suitable projects to proceed without depending entirely on traditional funding channels.
ABX can work across a range of existing buildings, including commercial, industrial, retail, hospitality, healthcare, education, residential and mixed-use properties, subject to project assessment and commercial viability.
Depending on the building, upgrades can include:
No. Energy is an important part of the equation, but ABX looks at the overall economics of the building.
Savings and efficiencies can come from energy, maintenance, automation, equipment performance, operational processes, reduced downtime and other areas.
We assess the building's existing infrastructure, operating costs, energy consumption, maintenance requirements and potential improvement opportunities.
We then develop a project and financial model to determine whether the proposed upgrades can generate sufficient value to support the investment.
This depends on the project and financing structure. ABX can use different ownership, financing and service structures depending on the building, investment requirements and commercial objectives.
ABX can remain involved through ongoing monitoring, optimisation and performance management.
The objective is not simply to complete an installation and leave. We want the building to continue improving after the upgrade.
A building operates as a connected system. Improving one component without considering the others can limit the overall result.
ABX brings these technologies together where they can create measurable value, allowing buildings to become more efficient, intelligent and increasingly autonomous.
Ageing infrastructure doesn't become cheaper by waiting. Energy costs, maintenance costs, compliance requirements and technology expectations continue to evolve.
At the same time, many of the technologies capable of improving building performance are already commercially available.
ABX's objective is to help building owners deploy those solutions now rather than waiting for the next capital cycle.
Not simply. ABX is a building transformation and performance company.
Energy optimisation is one part of our broader approach, alongside infrastructure upgrades, building intelligence, automation and funding.
No. Funding is a key part of the ABX model, but our role extends across the entire building transformation.
We bring together capital, technology, delivery and ongoing optimisation.
A traditional contractor generally delivers a defined project for a client who provides the capital.
ABX takes a broader approach. We can help identify the opportunity, arrange or provide funding, deliver the upgrade, integrate the systems and optimise performance over time.
Traditional energy performance models often focus primarily on energy efficiency.
ABX takes a whole-building approach, looking at energy, infrastructure, intelligence, automation and operational performance together.
Not every building or every upgrade will be suitable for the ABX model.
We assess the economics before proceeding. Projects need to demonstrate a credible pathway to generating sufficient savings or other measurable value to support the proposed investment.
No. Depending on the project, the economic return can come from multiple sources, including:
Energy savings + maintenance savings + operational efficiencies + automation + improved asset performance + other measurable benefits.
Yes. Building upgrades can reduce energy consumption, improve efficiency, modernise infrastructure and support broader environmental and sustainability objectives.
ABX focuses on practical improvements that create measurable outcomes, rather than sustainability reporting alone.
No. Government incentives may be incorporated where available, but the ABX model is designed to use private investment capital to help accelerate projects.
Private capital can provide an alternative to lengthy traditional funding processes and allow commercially viable projects to move forward sooner.
ABX's view is simple "If the technology exists and the economics work, we should find a way to deploy it."
The term depends on the size of the investment, expected savings, technology lifespan, building conditions and agreed commercial structure.
The objective is to create a repayment period that works for both the building owner and the investment partners
The commercial arrangement depends on the project structure. Generally, once the agreed investment and return have been satisfied, the building owner can retain a greater share of the ongoing savings and benefits.
Yes. ABX can work alongside existing building owners, facility managers, engineering teams, contractors and technology providers.
The aim is to integrate and improve the existing building ecosystem, not unnecessarily replace relationships that already work.
The first step is a building assessment.
ABX looks at the building's infrastructure, energy use, operating costs and improvement opportunities to determine what could be upgraded and whether the economics support an ABX-funded transformation.
