FM companies

[Mark Brough]

Kevin and I have spoken about replacing the FM side of 3Sixty's product offering with a traditional FM company.

The stuff which an FM company would classically offer would include:

• building maintenance
• preventative maintenance schedule
• drains, gullies, downpipes clearance
• sewerage
• decorating
• M&E
• water pumps
• water distribution
• elevators
• fire alarm system
• smoke vents / AOVs
• door entry system
• doors & door closers
• car park infrastructure
• scaffolding

and the stuff which 3Sixty would be left with would include:

• legal
• company secretary incl. board meetings & AGM
• compliance
• fire safety
• collection and chasing of service charge
• administration of issues reported by residents & leaseholders
• refuse
• parking control
• legionnaires' disease
• accountancy
• customer services

Two challenges:

• division of labour, and management of grey areas
• reduced fee for 3Sixty
