What is Hard FM Facilities Management?
Hard facilities management encompasses the technical and mechanical aspects that keep a building functional and compliant with regulations. These services are essential for the structural and operational integrity of any workspace. Hard services include tasks related to the maintenance and repair of building systems such as heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC), electrical systems, plumbing, fire safety, and building fabric maintenance. Without these critical services, a building may face operational failures, legal compliance issues, and safety risks.
​
The Scope of Hard Facilities Management
Facilities management is broadly divided into two categories: hard and soft services. While hard facilities management, as mentioned, focuses on the technical aspects, soft services involve non-technical tasks that contribute to the comfort and well-being of building occupants. Soft services include cleaning, security, waste management, and reception duties. At Pareto FM, we understand that a balanced approach to both hard and soft facilities management is vital for a harmonious and productive environment.
