Advantages of a Facility Company over Creating Own Company Infrastructure

What is Facility Management

Facility management is a relatively new concept for the Ukrainian market. While in the world, property management has been around for forty years. During this period, the methods, approaches and technologies and of course the very definition of the profession have changed dramatically. Today, the latest ISO standard: Facility management is defined as an organizational function that brings people together, locates and adjusts processes within a building in order to improve the quality of life for people and the productivity of the core business.

Simply put, it is a complex of works on building maintenance to maintain certain indicators.

Facility management types

According to the international classification, facilitation services are usually divided into Hard and Soft. The former relate to the infrastructure of the building, these are various systems and equipment (maintenance of ventilation, air conditioning, water supply and sewerage, lighting and electrics, elevators, escalators, etc.), while the latter make the stay of people in the building more comfortable and safe (cleaning, security, catering, reception service)

In addition, facility management can be divided into outsourcing and internal. In turn, outsourcing facility management can be provided both as separate services and on the principle of the so-called integrated FM. This means that the FM team maintains the entire building and works in maximum interaction with the client.

What is included in the management of the operation of a property

Often, the main services of Facility Management are:

• Cleaning
• Maintenance
• Security

However, most of the facility companies also offer additional services that may be needed for the full functioning of the property, for example:

• Catering
• Post service
• Goods delivery
• Waste management
• Laundry service
• Organization of events

At this stage in the world, it is the integrated facility management that is gaining more and more popularity. In this case, all the necessary work in the building is carried out by one company, and this is an excellent way to optimize human and material resources.
