Facility management (FM) is a well-known term that refers to the management of maintenance for commercial properties and associated infrastructure.

When defined in this way, facility management sounds quite simple. However, this economic activity consists of a set of activities that require highly specialized employees and perfect organization.

In what does the complexity of facility management manifest?

At the beginning, it should be said that facility management is always focused on people. On one hand, it enables the functionality and efficiency of built structures through its overall operation. On the other hand, it firmly stands on the standpoint of ensuring the safety, health, and comfort of all who reside in the buildings for any reason and at any time.

When thinking about spaces intended for commercial or public use, staying in them can be either everyday and long-lasting (employees) or occasional and short-lived (visitors).

Given that the primary focus is on the health benefits of all present, the largest percentage of facility management goes towards maintaining hygiene (60%).

Starting from this, primary activity, we will rank all others that fall within the scope of FM, which Invekta typically deals with:

• hygiene maintenance;
• technical maintenance (including HVAC systems);
• security;
• support services;
• greenery maintenance;
• winter service;
• paper confection.

Hygiene maintenance

Hygiene maintenance is inherently complex and integrates the following subtypes of sanitary treatments for commercial spaces:

• daily cleaning;
• cleaning of glass surfaces;
• general cleaning;
• machine cleaning of furniture;
• machine carpet washing;
• machine hard floor washing;
• machine hard floor polishing.

The space itself, with its purpose, size, and frequency of people, determines which types of cleaning and to what extent/intervals will be necessary. For example, a manufacturing facility will require regular machine floor cleaning, while an office will require periodic deep cleaning of furniture and carpets.

However, there is something common to all facilities where business activities take place, and that is technical maintenance and the procurement of paper products, soap, and disinfectants. Along with them, of course, come professional dispensers.
