Real estate represents a substantial investment for an organization. Controlled management of the property and its building protects the organizations capital investment and helps turn a cost item into one of added value.
Facilities managers often must juggle the competing needs and desires of the tenants or the organizations core business, which hopefully turns a profit and the non-core business, the upkeep of the property.
Regardless of the size and location of the real estate, the facilities needs may be entirely different. However, the options that a facility manager has to meet those needs aren’t as varied. The tasks can be accomplished through in-house provision or outsourcing.
For most facilities managers, outsourcing routine maintenance tasks and some non-routine tasks allows staff to focus on core business functions that make profits. Plus, outsourcing lowers costs for a variety of reasons. Let’s take a look at some of the reasons:
Outsourcing FM Services Lowers Costs
In-house staff cost more. Historically companies tend to let staffing levels and internal wage drift above market levels. Facilities maintenance service provides keep those costs inline by being competitive in the industry, thus passing the savings and the lower rates on to their customers.
- In-house staff do it one way. Often, employees tasked with facilities maintenance do things the way they always have done them, without regard to seeking out for new time and cost-saving options. An outsourced service provider may offer a solution to a task that saves time and money without a negative effect on service quality.
- In-house staff may use outdated equipment. Service providers are in the business to provide facilities maintenance 24/7. Their equipment is state-of-the-art because it has to be – it’s the core of their business. If sweeping parking lots or hydro-cleaning parking garages isn’t part of your core business, you’ll save time and money outsourcing these tasks.
