CAFM Staffing Requirements

I am looking for information regarding staffing levels to maintain a CAFM system. I work in health care and was wondering if there were any papers/data or published industry standards for staffing levels needed for CAFM (space management) in health care. We have over 3 million sqft and 1 CAD Tech. I am trying to justify a CAD Manager and more if needed.

http://discussion.autodesk.com/search.jspa?numResults=25&inputEntered=true&source=forumlist%7C35&q=staffing&objID=c35
~summary from 4th post in the search~
rule of thum is 1 cad/cafm person per 2mil sq ft AFTER the system is up and
running... (information is from cafm consultant Warren Bailey)

~says the sole full-time caddie at 6million sq ft~ good luck.

I should also have mentioned that being health care we have a large churn rate and we are growing by 30% + in the next few years.

Isn't Melanie just the greatest? She always has a relevant and accurate
answer. I think she is way under appreciated. She is a very multi-faceted
and talented woman, and I adore her.

what lovely sentiments Jack. surely you a bring a level of eloquent
erudition that exceeds all expectations, and although some rebellious
disidents might bemoan your writing style as simply an attempt at
obfuscation through sesquipedalean bloviation, rest assured that rest of us
deem your literary efforts as a mark of excellence within the field of
airport architectural scribblings.....

Jack's black comes with a small amount of sugar, some chocolate, a small few
drops of Frangelica, and a sprinkling of cinnamon topped off with a light
whipped cream.

and from all I have read on genealology, me black, you black, we all black,
way back when ...from Africa, don't ya know.

black Jack.

As you well know, I have no need for sesquipedalian writing when one, two or
even a maximum of three syllables usually works well for me in my naturally
born talent to obfuscate through bloviation of what could have been a simple
10 word or less sentence in the first place. Bloviation seems to be my
natural inclination, even after eating, or before; as it seems to never make
much difference, with and without words.

Besides which, you are the sockdolager of record, never having been
surpassed by any living writer to which mine eyes have had the pleasure of
reading. I can never hope to match you wit for wit, or in general intellect
to intellect. You are the royal Queen, and I am only a mere prince in
service at your whim and fancy.

So take a look at my plotting question in the plotting newsgroup and see if
you can solve that minor bloviated question for me.

I have attempted to alleviate your plotting concerns in a professional
manner, one technologist to another as it were. However due to the
excessive verbiage commonly displayed within your frequent posting coupled
with my deleteriously fleeting attention span I may not have addressed all
of your needs and desires adequately. This is less a reflection on your
literary shortcomings and more of a self-inflicted diatribe against my own
self absorption and complete lack of interest.

Be that as it may, I continue to support and applaud your efforts albeit in
a slightly derisive and condescending manner befitting the royal beotch
reputation I cherish and uphold. I would normally capitalise every word for
imbecillic dramatic effect but I have forgotten the young's Modulus of
acryllic and Hoo Non Boy has not applied sufficient adhesives and unguents
to my digital extremities.

seem to have missed you by an hour and a half.

I see that some how in your professional manner you did not post your
attempt to alleviate my plotting concern. I can only assume it excellent,
and therefore to be held close to the vest, and unseen by the light of day.

Sorry to hear about the arthritis.

My main problem re: printing or plotting as one may prefer to say, is that I
was beginning to wonder if I was missing some important fact about margins
and printable area. From the answers received I see that I am correct in my
observations over many years, and can proceed with confidence that I see the
problem and the solution clearly.

Now I just have to take the time to correct about 200 titleblocks, and move
their nested blocks accordingly unless I can figure out a way to cut the
excess where it won't affect the nested blocks at all.....for which I think
I have a solution only waiting to be tried and done.

Thanks for your cheery note inspite of your pain, and your kind thoughts.

Jack
