Facility Management Services
Facility Management services is an organizational function which integrates people, place and process within the built environment with the purpose of improving the quality of life of people and the productivity of the core business.
Whether the space is a factory, office, hospital, shopping mall, airport, museum or stadium, someone makes sure the building and all of its components work properly. That person is a facility manager. Facility managers (FMs) make sure systems in the built environment work together as they should, that buildings fulfill their intended purposes, and that personnel are healthy and productive.
Facility managers have many different titles and career paths. They often aren’t called facility managers even though they are responsible for aspects of facility management, including planning, evaluating and maintaining building systems. Facility managers hold a variety of roles, including:
- Building operations like cleaning, security, maintenance and grounds management
- Return-to-work processes and policies
- Emergency and disaster mitigation and response
- Sustainability planning
- Project management and budgeting
- Real estate management and space planning
- Business continuity planning
