Sharing knowledge. Inspiring better decisions.

Facilities Management

Impending backlog, and why nobody funds it

The lifecycle argument has better UK evidence behind it than the cost ratio most FM writing quotes, and the ratio is the reason the…

Targets arriving faster than the estate can absorb them

For an owner-occupied school estate the decarbonisation targets are not arriving as law at all, they are arriving as expectation and funding condition, and…
