Facilities management company FAQs:

We've done our best to try and answer some of the most common questions about facilities management companies below:

Facilities management is the management of a wide range of services that are essential to the operation of a building, such as maintenance, cleaning, security, and energy management.

A facilities management company is responsible for fulfilling the various needs of organisations across different sectors. This can include managing office buildings, educational facilities, hotels, hospitality venues, and healthcare clinics, and liaising with distribution centres to supply products to companies.

Essentially, they are responsible for the entire facilities management of a company. The main aim of this is to improve productivity and have a positive impact whilst ensuring that all safety regulations are properly followed. FM services also cater for clients both in the private and public sector.

The main tasks of facilities management services include establishing processes that will help a facility run effectively, upkeeping and improving them and focusing on technology integration. Not only do facility management services ensure that the building is running smoothly and efficiently, but they also provide a safe environment for those who use it.

This refers to a facilities management company.

Facilities services such as cleaning, security, fire door inspections, maintenance and grounds management are often used as prime examples of FM services. However, UK facilities management companies are often responsible for other maintenance such as fire safety and source and supply.

Facilities services can be broken down into Hard Services and Soft Services.

Hard Services relate to managing the physical aspect of a facility, such as building maintenance, plumbing, installations, elevators and wiring.

Soft Services are services managed by people, and contribute to maintaining a pleasant and safe workplace. This could include waste recycling, cleaning, security services and catering.

Facilities management companies ensure the safety and security of a building by implementing appropriate security measures, such as access control systems, surveillance cameras, and alarm systems, and by conducting regular safety inspections and training.

Facilities management companies manage energy use and costs by implementing energy-efficient systems and practices, conducting energy audits, and monitoring energy consumption and costs.

To get started with a facilities management company, you should schedule an initial consultation to discuss your needs and goals. The company can then develop a customized plan and proposal for your business.
