Facilities Management is not hard

Being a facilities manager is not difficult, providing you have a full set off tools available.
A lot of fm is all about finding solutions to problems and 'lessons learnt', lots of the problems re-occur/ are repetitive, but once one has learnt the lesson, re-read the script and repeat the process in less time, for a quick solution.
The tool kit can be anything from literally tools to service providers, access to parts suppliers or the ultimate a total facilities management provider, if your business can afford it.
Its also is your common sense and expertise in the FM field from some sort of perspective


 we have to innovate as well where unusual situations occur, normally more than once at a time, the other week I was trying to sort a spreadsheet and budgets out, then it was discovered one of our showers had been left on and was trying to flood our basement, adjacent to our data centre. needless to say i dropped everything to mop up the mess and pulled another of my staff members off other tasks, as this was importanat and the only wet vac we had was useless.


That's what doing FM is like, diverse, multifaceted, innovative, one needs to be FM smart, think out of the box, use investigative root cause analysis techniques, i believe my back ground in electrical/ mechanical/electronics/ maintenance/ engineering/ IT technology is an ideal background and expertise.
keep it simple keep it
