Facilities
Management within the UK has evolved and developed over recent
years to become a vital element of all large organisations.
The FM department manages most or all non-core activities.
Facilities Managers are responsible for the very infrastructure
upon which companies depend.
ABS consulting was one of the first consultancies to
grasp the importance of these changes and to refine its approach
to meet the new demands. Whilst concept, design and build
are crucially important stages in the life of a building the
OPERATION of the building is where the value of the building is
delivered. Poor operation leads to inefficiencies, waste and
operational failure. Previously the operation of a building
was seen to be a low skill process requiring minimal input.
This is now seen to be completely erroneous. Buildings, their
internal environments, their servicing and their systems are
dynamic entities that require awareness, flexibility and
informed management.
The majority of buildings house people, and people (including
their salaries) comprise the largest business cost of most
companies. A small (say 2%) improvement in the efficiency of
occupants can have an enormous cumulative effect on the bottom
line. By operating and servicing a building intelligently such
improvements (and more) can be achieved on a permanent basis.
ABS has therefore focussed its products on measuring the
performance of buildings and their servicing, on improving
performance and on maintaining good performance.
