Facility management is a profession that encompasses multiple disciplines to ensure functionality of the built environment by integrating people, place, process and technology.
Facilities Management is the integration of processes within an organisation to maintain and develop the agreed services which support and improve the effectiveness of its primary activities.
The practice of facility management engineering is a multi-faceted field that focuses on the upkeep, care, and evolution of commercial, large-scale manufacturing and warehouse buildings, among others, in an efficient and cost-effective manner.
Facilities managers are responsible for the management of services and processes that support the core business of an organisation. They ensure that an organisation has the most suitable working environment for its employees and their activities.
