Regardless of the size or structure of your business in London, Facilities Management plays a crucial role in ensuring smooth operations. But what exactly is Facilities Management and why is it essential for your organisation?

Facilities Management is a professional management discipline that focuses on efficiently delivering support services and maintaining equipment for businesses. The specific requirements of Facilities Management vary depending on the type of building it serves. For instance, the needs of an commercial space differ significantly from those of a hospital. Therefore, Facilities Management is tailored to meet the unique demands of each facility.

When you opt for a comprehensive Facilities Management service, you can expect us to take care of the following key aspects:

Preserving Organisation Efficiency

Efficiently managing the equipment and assets within your building requires regular maintenance to ensure optimal performance. Our team, led by experienced Contracts Managers with support from Administration and our Helpdesk, schedules planned preventative maintenance, property compliance works, and reactive maintenance with minimal disruption to your business operations.

This proactive approach allows us to identify emerging patterns and trends, enabling us to enhance operational efficiency by addressing areas of improvement. To support our efforts, we utilise our cutting-edge CAFM system. It complements our team’s organisation of work and ensures that the right practices and procedures are in place. By reducing the risk of equipment failure and building fabric damage, we maximise the longevity of your assets, while also ensuring the safe functioning of your operations.

Managing Expenditure

Effective Facility Management includes strategic expenditure management, such as planning and budgeting for planned preventative maintenance and cost control. We prioritise delivering the best value for our clients. By analysing data and making informed decisions, we can standardise services across your business and minimise reactive works where possible, leading to significant cost savings. Our expertise in Facilities Management allows our clients to not only save money but also gain financially from our tailored solutions.

Ensuring Compliance

In an industry that constantly evolves, staying up-to-date with legislative updates is crucial to maintaining compliance for your company. We closely monitor laws and regulations related to health, environment, security, and safety within buildings. Failure to adhere to these regulations can result in an unhealthy or unsafe workplace environment, leading to potential financial losses due to penalties, legal action, and insurance issues. Our routine reviews of regulations ensure that we understand their implications for our clients, enabling us to keep their businesses compliant and safeguarded.

Safety and Security of the Workplace

At Artic, we take Health and Safety and security responsibilities seriously, assuming full responsibility for maintaining all aspects within your building. This includes ensuring fire safety by maintaining existing fire systems and implementing new systems if necessary. We develop and implement strategies that align with regulations following comprehensive risk assessments.

In addition, we assess areas of security management that can benefit your business, such as CCTV, intruder alarms, and access control measures. Our thorough approach involves creating method statements and conducting risk assessments for all areas of your business. By identifying potential hazards and taking necessary precautions, we contribute to creating a safe and secure workplace that protects both your staff and valuable assets. This approach not only leads to significant savings but also fosters a positive and secure environment for your employees and building users.
