Case Study: San Diego Gas & Electric achieves centralized, multi‑year capital planning and grows annual capital budget to $40M+ with SpaceIQ

Transparency & Reporting Enable San Diego Gas & Electric to Expand Capital Project Budget by $30M+

San Diego Gas & Electric engaged SpaceIQ to replace an inefficient, spreadsheet-driven legacy process for annual capital project management across its 2 million square feet of facilities. The utility faced disconnected tools (project management, Maximo work orders, SAP financials) and a cumbersome spreadsheet system that prevented automated, bi-directional data sharing and multi-year budgeting, so SDG&E moved to a centralized, Archibus-based platform to unify real estate, space, asset, and project data.

SpaceIQ implemented a phased integration that customized Archibus Project Management and Capital Budgeting, tied in Maximo and SAP, and standardized workflows, data mapping, and reporting (with partner FMP, Inc.). As a result, SpaceIQ’s Archibus solution improved data accuracy, reporting, and cost control, enabled multi-year planning and avoided year-end spending spikes — and within five years SDG&E’s annual capital budget capacity rose from $5–7M to over $40M, with $10–15M of projects typically in motion year-to-year.
