Facility Management

Shared experiences in managing properties and building operations. Work logs, best practices, and expertise are welcome.
Description

Facility Managers are responsible for the safe and comfortable operation of properties. When a Facility Manager performs the job properly, other personnel are able to perform their operations effectively. Facility Managers are in charge of health, safety, security, maintenance, cleaning, and construction. The scope of work can be multiple properties around the world, large campuses, individual buildings, and even your home.

This group is about sharing knowledge related to operating and maintaining a property.
