In all sky scrapers and buildings incorporating many businesses there will be someone who is in charge of facilities management. The facilities manager takes control of all soft and hard services. Soft services are security, professional window cleaning and office cleaning services, parking and the hard services would include heating, air-conditioning and other general building maintenance.
The facilities manager (sometimes known as business services manager or contracts manager) would take responsibility for building and refurbishing works, dealing with contractors and suppliers, managing security teams (whether they are in-house or contracted), day to day upkeep and maintenance of the building. In addition the facilities manager would be responsible for making sure the building meets all health and safety requirements.
To be successful in facilities management you need to have a good knowledge and understanding of how buildings are constructed. A degree demonstrating this knowledge would be required and indicates the level of commitment a facilities manager makes.
In today’s financial climate a facilities manager needs to be able to balance the day to day running of the building and sourcing new contractors if the current ones are not as professional as they should be or are not providing the level of service they require. A professional window cleaning company likes to build a great working relationship with the facilities managers as they know that this helps the continuation of the contract and also additional contracts should the facilities manager mover employment.
Completing the window cleaning and then having the work signed off and authorised is an everyday occurrence and one that should happen without disruption. However on the on the occasion that there is some disruption for whatever the reason, a professional window cleaning company would have trained staff that can easily deal with the situation and complete the works as required.
