Facilities Management
Multi-skilled technicians, AC and plumbing crews, cleaning teams and planned maintenance staffing for FM contractors and property owners.
Continuity is the value, not the rate
Facility management is the sector where the cheapest crew is most reliably the most expensive one.
Most of the value in an FM crew is knowledge of the building — which riser feeds which floor, which chiller trips first in August, which tenant calls about everything. A crew that has been on site nine months resolves a fault in a fraction of the time a new crew takes, and that difference dwarfs any rate saving.
So we staff FM contracts with fixed crews on rolling releases, not with whoever is available this month. It is cheaper per man than repeated short releases anyway.
Multi-skilled or trade-split
On a smaller site, a multi-skilled technician who handles basic mechanical, electrical and plumbing faults is better value than three single-trade men who are each idle two thirds of the time.
On a large portfolio, the trade split makes more sense — the volume justifies specialists and the specialists are faster.
Most suppliers will sell you whichever they happen to have. Tell us the size and mix of your portfolio and we will tell you which one your site actually is, including when that means a smaller release than you asked for.
What we staff
Multi-skilled maintenance technicians, AC and HVAC crews, plumbers, industrial electricians, cleaning and public area teams, and PPM charge hands who keep the schedule and hand you a completed log.
Cleaning crews receive a chemical handling briefing before they start. It is a small thing that gets skipped constantly and it is how building finishes get destroyed.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Are multi-skilled technicians better value than single-trade men?
On smaller sites, usually yes. One technician covering basic mechanical, electrical and plumbing faults beats three single-trade men who are each idle two thirds of the time. On large portfolios the trade split makes more sense. We will tell you which your site actually is.
Why does crew continuity matter so much in FM?
Because most of the value is knowledge of the building. A crew that knows which riser feeds which floor and which unit fails first resolves faults in a fraction of the time. Rotating crews relearn the same building repeatedly, and you pay for it in response time.
Can you staff a PPM contract on a rolling basis?
Yes. Rolling releases are cheaper per man than repeated short ones, and the crew builds the asset knowledge. We normally pair the crew with a charge hand who keeps the schedule and hands you a completed log.
