What is Facility Management?

Physical facilities require ongoing maintenance and care. Without facility management and maintenance, buildings would quickly decay. Facility mangers work hard to keep buildings working safely and efficiently.

 What is Facility Management?

According to the International Facility Management Association (IFMA), facility management is “a profession that encompasses multiple disciplines to ensure functionality, comfort, safety and efficiency of the built environment by integrating people, place, process and technology.”

Generally speaking, facility managers ensure a business’s buildings, assets, equipment and grounds are safe and efficient.

 What Does a Facility Manager Do?

Facility managers hold an important role that contributes to the success of a business. From maintaining buildings, grounds, environmental concerns to equipment, their hard work is essential.

“Overall, we are responsible for providing high quality care of facilities, while being as efficient with time and expenses as possible. We do this by making sure to use and share best practices, both internal and external, as well as technology and innovation to drive continuous improvement,” explains Jacob Edin, vice president of facility management at Continuum Services.
