The term Facilities Management is most commonly devoted to the care and maintenance of institutional or commercial types of buildings. Buildings like schools, offices, gyms, hotels and resorts, hospitals, clinics and care centres.
Tasks might include the maintenance of electric sources, lighting and plumbing, air conditioning, cleaning, decorating, gardening and even security. Some of these can even be assisted by computers. All of the duties listed above can sometimes be thought of as non-core services as they are not what the building is primarily there for. For example a hospital is primarily there to care for people so the gardening work of the hospital wouldn't be considered a main service.
The main role of facilities management consultants is to oversee the safe, secure and environmentally sound operations of a business' assets.
It is important when contemplating hiring a facilities management consultancy to bear in mind it will usually be a long-term process so it is important to choose carefully. You should always try and research as best as possible and try and find out whether or not a company is really what they say they are. You could always ask around to see if there are any colleagues or friends who have had a good experience with a company and if they would be happy to recommend them to you.
