  3. Mobilise & deliver – Named operatives/supervisor, scheduled routines and reactive cover.
  4. Report & improve – Simple dashboards, audits and continuous improvement actions.

Frequently Asked Question

What does building support services cover?

Building support services cover the day to day operational tasks that keep a site running smoothly, such as minor maintenance, consumable management and general site support, working alongside your cleaning contract.

How does building support differ from facilities management as a whole?

Building support is one strand within the wider facilities management offering as such. It is focused specifically on operational and consumable support rather than cleaning, pest control or grounds care, which are scoped as separate services. There is quite a bit to it.

Can building support services be tailored to a specific site?

Yes, very definitely. Building support is scoped during a custom site survey based on the building's size, use and the specific operational gaps the client wants to have covered by us.

Does building support include minor repairs?

Building support can include minor repairs and maintenance tasks depending on the scope agreed for your site. Larger or specialist repair works are typically managed separately. We would discuss options if and when something came up that was not part of any agreement.

Is building support available alongside a commercial cleaning contract?

Yes, building support is commonly combined with commercial cleaning under one integrated overall contract for clients who want a single point of accountability across both area.

People Also Ask

What is included in consumable management for a commercial building?

Consumable management typically covers items such as washroom supplies, hand hygiene products and general site consumables, monitored and restocked as part of an ongoing service. See washroom and hygiene services for more detail.

How does building support reduce facilities management costs?

Combining operational support with other services under one provider can reduce the admin and duplication that comes from managing multiple separate contractors. Read how integrated facilities management saves money for Irish businesses.

What is the difference between building support and janitorial services?

Building support covers broader operational and consumable tasks, while janitorial services focus more specifically on day to day cleanliness and upkeep of communal areas. See janitorial for more detail.

Can building support services help with site audits?

Documented building support routines can contribute useful records for wider site audits, particularly where consumable and maintenance tasks need to be tracked over time.

Is building support available across Dublin and Donegal?

Yes, building support services are delivered across both regions as part of FM Services Group's wider facilities management offering. Most of our clients are in the Dublin area, but our Donegal office manages more and more sites across the North West.
