Having started my career as a construction engineer and working with different companies and contractors; from Construction, HVAC, MEP, to Sales been there, done that. I've compiled my learnings along the way for you in this newsletter. Let's dive in!

Construction engineers primarily focus on completing the project, often neglecting long-term goals or the facility's future scenarios during design and construction. This oversight leads to insufficient attention to potential defects, ultimately costing landlords money in maintenance.

To landlords, their facilities are like babies – they want to maintain them in pristine condition for years. This is only possible if construction engineers and managers envision providing lasting quality to the facility.

Therefore, these professionals add significant value to facility management companies, landlords, or property management companies.

Now, let's shift our focus to the mindset of the Facility Manager responsible for the maintenance and care of the facility.

When facing construction defects, it's easy to blame the construction phase. While these defects can't be corrected later, it's more beneficial to focus on long-term solutions for the facility's improvement rather than playing the blame game.

With a bird's eye view of the entire facility, a facility manager can easily identify corruption and cheap quality work during construction.

While construction managers excel in building structures, transitioning to facility management empowers them to ensure the lasting functionality and efficiency of those structures. This makes them uniquely qualified stewards of both creation and preservation in the built environment.

That's it for today, folks!
