AI and robotics in CRE and FM

As artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics transition from experimental pilots to core components of facility operations, the commercial and legal frameworks governing these services have not yet aligned. 

DLA Piper and Trascent have collaborated to examine the gap between technological capability and contractual readiness in corporate real estate (CRE) and facilities management (FM). This initiative explores how leading organizations are adapting governance, liability structures, and commercial models to accommodate a technology-enabled future.

Are your CRE and FM contracts ready for AI and robotics? 

How AI is reshaping service delivery and commercial models in CRE and FM 

In this recorded session, leaders from Trascent and DLA Piper unpack the operational and legal realities of integrating AI and robotics into CRE and FM environments. 

Key topics 

• Technology-enabled service delivery: Reshaping the scope of work and shifting the value proposition from labor arbitrage to technology-driven outcomes 
• Contractual treatment of automation: Identifying where traditional service-level agreements fail to account for autonomous performance and machine-generated outputs 
• Commercial pricing models: Moving away from headcount-based pricing toward output-based or outcome-based commercial structures that incentivize innovation 
• Governance and oversight: Establishing controls for data ownership, cybersecurity, and performance accountability in a highly automated ecosystem
