Facilities Management
The definition given by CEN the European Committee for Standardisation, and ratified by BSI British Standards, for Facilities Management is: "Facilities management is the integration of processes within an organisation to maintain and develop the agreed services which support and improve the effectiveness of its primary activities."
Facilities management essentially surrounds multi-disciplinary activities that are integrated within the built environment and the management of the impact in the workplace and on people. The foundation Below are listed some of the key elements in the development of facilities management (FM): - Cost-cutting initiatives of the seventies and eighties under which of the organisations began to outsource any 'non-core' services - Integration of the planning and management of a variety of services that cover both hard and soft services; hard, for example building fabrics and soft, catering, cleaning, health and safety, mail room and security in order to achieve better quality and economies of scale Facilities management today
FM is presently large and complex, it compromises a mixture of in-house departments, specialist contractors, large multi service companies and a corporation that delivers a full range of build, finance and management. The practitioners within the facilities management profession require knowledge and skill. The sector definition continues to expand to include the management of an increasingly broad range of tangible assets, support services and people skills. Brilliant facilities management teams can, amongst other things: - Deliver effective management of an organisation's assets - Enhance the skills of people within the FM sector and provide identifiable and meaningful career options - Enable new working styles and processes which is crucial in such a technology driven age - Enhance and project an organisation's image and identity
In the future, the successful business will integrate facilities management into their strategic plan.

The importance of pest control
Pest control is amongst the many services we offer and pest management is quite an important industry. Our pest control eradicates the issues and ensures that the possibility of pests interfering again is prevented. Pests destroy homes and buildings, termites alone cause humongous amounts of damage each year, and, unfortunately, this sort of damage will not be covered by your home insurances. Pests carry and transmit diseases, and disease-inducing organisms such as, Dengue fever, Murray Valley encephalitis virus, Ross River virus, also Barmah Forest virus, salmonellae, gastroenteritis, hepatitis A and trachoma. Bed bugs have had a sudden surge in appearance and it’s unknown why, although specialists suggest it could be due to the increase of international travel.
Surprisingly, insect bites/stings have been the cause of hundreds of thousands of emergency hospital visits. The enormity of having a pest problem is such an overlooked concept that before anything can be done, the damage has reached extensive.

SO, how to choose a commercial cleaning company
Prior to choosing a commercial cleaning company, there should be a few things that should be checked: Reviews - When looking for a cleaning company to tackle your facility, ensure to check out their reviews to see if other customers have been satisfied - also their customer retention rate which will prove which of their customers have been returning for their services. Special requests - By finding out if they cater for special requests or if not, you will be able to narrow down your search if you are looking for something particular. Reference - To help discover if they are the right company for you, ask if they have serviced any other organisations that may be similar to your own; the size or industry. Resources - Does the cleaning company stock any specialty resources? Will it affect your decision if they don't? These questions should be asked to help with your decision.
Capabilities - Ensure the cleaning company has a range of capabilities, such as carpet cleaning, floor waxing and stripping - this will be important to narrow your selection depending on whether your venue will require any of these services. Buying power - Reviewing whether they have buying power may fair well depending on whether they can get a decent price on paper products, liners, chemicals and specific products. Employees - Check how they screen their employees; if there are any reports that can be provided to your company so you know you can trust the company that will be given the task of cleaning your venue. Budget and cost - By setting a budget you will be able to settle on a cost that will be appropriate for you and the job at hand, however, consider that you will get what you are paying for. Accountability - Watch to see if the company at hand has an accountability programme, if they don't, be wary of this business as it is possible that their services will falter after a couple of months in.
