Facilities Management Q&A!

What do facilities management companies do?

 

Facilities management is a broad term that encompasses many different areas of work. The aim of facilities managers is to ensure buildings, equipment and property remain safe and functioning at all times. Facilities management has a variety of job roles within it. Each specific role has its own responsibilities and duties, but broadly speaking all are responsible for ensuring that their particular area of focus remains operational and efficient at all times.

 

What is the role of a facilities manager?

 

The role of a facilities manager varies from company to company. Still, they all have similar responsibilities: Ensuring that their team is trained properly and knows how to carry out their duties, dealing with any problems which arise, making sure that repairs are carried out quickly when needed, checking that the building meets health and safety standards (this includes fire alarms), making sure everyone knows what they should do in an emergency situation such as fire or flood. 

A facilities manager will be responsible for ensuring the building itself is in good shape by carrying out regular inspections, reporting any damage or issues to the landlord or owner, and arranging repairs where necessary.

 

What are some of the areas that Facilities Management covers?

 

  • Design and Installation

Ensuring your environment is safe and comfortable for everyone. Mechanical and electrical engineers are focused on designing and installing functional systems that are cost-effective and easily maintained throughout the building’s lifecycle.

  • HVAC & Refrigeration

HVAC and refrigeration systems are crucial components of your facility. As you would with your electrical, plumbing, or computer systems, you want to make sure it’s running at maximum capacity at all times

  • Mechanical Services

 Mechanical services include heating, plumbing, ventilation, and more.

  • Handy Person

Planned and reactive maintenance programmes are delivered via trained and accredited technicians that deliver services in a safe and environmentally conscious way to the highest of standards.

 

Why is facilities management so important for your business?

 

Proper facilities management is one of the key elements for any business looking to ensure high-quality, efficient, and safe operations. From building maintenance to electrical systems and equipment replacement, a managed facility assures that every element of your business is working at peak performance.

Facilities management helps your business by providing a safe and comfortable working environment. This means that employees will feel well and energised, which makes them productive and enthusiastic about their work. A good workspace can make employees want to come to work and perform well once there.
