Is Facilities Management a Profession?

Abstract

Argues that, although facilities management is not yet a profession, it has the necessary ingredients to become so. Describes how the business of managing buildings has become more “strategic”, long‐term and knowledge‐based, and how building‐related problems are assuming greater importance in organizations. Considers facilities management as bringing together the activities of design and management.
