AB  - In Germany, the term facilities management (FM) as well as the
integrative approach to regard buildings, stock and staff as a whole, is
relatively new. Although sophisticated organisation systems have been
installed in those sectors, methods and means of facilities management
have been lacking up to now. The central element of good FM is the
introduction of an organisational concept, equipment files and a
CAD‐administration of buildings and stock. The main obstacle to rapid
introduction of FM is the high initial costs, which are caused by the
initial costly and large‐scale registration of data. FM will generally
be accepted in Germany within the next few years because the effective
management of a company, its buildings and stock as well as good working
conditions for the staff are becoming more and more important for the
success of a company.
