Building and Facilities Management

What Is Facility Management?

Facility management is the methodical process of overseeing, preserving, and maximising a facility’s resources and infrastructure. When it is implemented well, buildings and their assets lifecycle is extended and operating expenses are reduced. Resulting in a highly functional, presentable, safe, and sustainable facility.

Difference Between Hard and Soft Facility Management

Hard facility management is the practice of managing and sustaining an organisation’s physical assets and essential systems, such as buildings, machinery, and equipment. Business operations, maintenance, regulatory obligations and protecting the security of resources and workers are all included in this definition. All physical assets are managed by hard facility asset management, as each one is essential to the facility’s overall operation. Whereas Soft facility management refers to elements managed by people, like cleaning and security.
