Our HISTORY
In 2010, founder Lowell Schneider built a SAAS solution based on the practices of architect John Duvivier to facilitate observer-based utilization surveys. This solution evolved into FacilityQuest in 2011.

While serving a growing list of evidence-driven clients, FacilityQuest has continued to partner with Gensler, helping it’s clients understand the utilization of their facilities. We now offer a broad range of solutions to facilities managers and design professionals.
