With the rising complexity of today’s business landscape, Organizations continuously strive for operational excellence, resilience, and sustainability, Facility Management (FM) has evolved from a support function into a strategic enabler.
Far from being just about maintaining buildings and assets, FM integrates people, processes, and Systems to ensure efficient operations, cost-effectiveness, and alignment with organizational objectives.
Facility Management (FM) is crucial for organizational success, driving efficiency, safety, and Customer satisfaction. It directly impacts cost control, asset performance, and workplace experiences, making it a strategic enabler of business outcomes.
Facility management can account for
25-40%
of an organization’s spend FM is often hindered by inefficiencies like reactive maintenance and un-optimized assets use and which amounts to 70%-80% of the total Cost of assets ownership.
Effective Facility management can ensure up to
30%
of cost Savings Facility management can be a strategic approach it improves productivity and efficiency of an organization.
Technology integration in facility management can Incur
30-50%
savings IT integrated facility management can reduce downtime by 70% by reducing probability of incident by 70%.
Many FM departments remain in reactive mood “firefighting mode”
A lot of FM departments focus on incidents as they occur or post of the occurrence. This highlights the need for a preventive, strategic approach to ensure long-term success.
A robust facility management strategy optimizes costs, improves infrastructure reliability, enhances service levels, reduces incidents, and ensures visibility and faster response times to incidents, leading to better overall customer satisfaction and facilities and assets conditions.
The transformation of the facility management function to a world-class department relies often on the transformation of key practices.
Fleet Management
Fleet Management optimizes size, utilization, and reduces acquisition, maintenance, and fuel costs through data-driven strategies, lease-versus-ownership decisions, vehicle pooling, and systems such as Vehicle Tracking System (VTS) for tracking and maintenance to maximize efficiency.
Building Management
Building management develops long-term strategies to align operations with goals, using build-versus-lease approaches, resource optimization, IoT-based smart technologies, and coordination with O&M and design teams to enhance comfort, energy efficiency, and cost savings.
Assets Management
Asset management involves tracking and optimizing the use of assets to ensure they deliver maximum value throughout their lifecycle. Effective asset management minimizes waste, reduces costs, and enhances operational performance.
Operations & Maintenance (O&M)
O&M management is optimized by outsourcing to general or specialized contractors through performance-based contracts, ensuring preventive maintenance, cost efficiency, minimized downtime, and extended asset lifespan.
Automation
Automation in facility management uses Internet of Things, smart building technologies, Computer-Aided Facility Management, Building Management Systems, and Integrated Workplace Management Systems to streamline operations, automate tasks, and centralize data, starting at the design stage.
Optimize fleet size, increase the utilisation, and reduce the cost of the vehicles.
Define long-term building strategy, define build vs lease strategy, leverage smart building technologies to enhance occupant comfort while reducing operational costs.
Streamline O&M processes, improve internal clients satisfaction, minimize equipment failures, reduce downtime and reduce the cost.
Streamline processes, improve internal clients satisfaction and reduce the cost.
Enhance facility management contracts by, defining clear service levels agreements (SLA), and link the payment with meeting SLA.
Track assets and optimize their utilization.
Expertise and profound understanding of IFMA (International Facility management association) and (International Standards Organization) ISO 41001:2018 Facility Management systems. These frameworks are best practices in facility management that ensuring efficient, Effective, and sustainable processes that align with organizational goals.
Extensive knowledge of local regulations in an international setting, including EXPRO Blue Book, Saudi Facility Management Association (SFMA) guidelines, Saudi Standards, Metrology, and Quality Organization (SASO) regulations, as well as European regulations such as the French Code of Construction and Housing (CCH), Public Access Buildings Regulations (ERP), Environmental Code (CDE), the EU Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD). This ensures compliance with local technical standards while maintaining alignment with global practices.
Expertise in Facility Management, strategies, and operational excellence that integrate people, processes, and technology to optimize assets and efficiency. Leveraging best practices for structured operational planning, preventive maintenance, asset management, and automation based on data-driven practices to optimize resource allocation, enhance efficiency, and ensure operational reliability.
