Every organisation uses buildings of some sort and their occupation requires recurrent resources for rent, rates, cleaning, energy, water, security, etc, amounting in time to more than the capital cost of creating the buildings in the first place. Facility Managers look after the Infrastructure of Business and have the responsibility of ensuring that their employers’ premises assist them in fulfilling their core business objectives, retain their capital value through appropriate maintenance, as well as obtaining value from their day-to-day operating costs.
This program recognises that the facilities manager requires an understanding of business finance and management information as well as the technical areas of buildings. Emphasis is placed on understanding the strategic objectives of the organisation, and the way that facilities contribute towards their realisation. Students will be encouraged to direct their learning to their working situation where appropriate, through the assignments.
