GFM to provide consultancy services for BBCC project

KUALA LUMPUR: Integrated facility management services provider, GFM Services Bhd, has entered into a collaboration agreement with UDA Holdings Bhd to provide facility management consultancy services for the Bukit Bintang City Centre (BBCC) project.

The scope includes structuring the facility management strategy for the development, determination of operational and life cycle cost, as well as optimisation of design.

“Identification of the right facility management strategy will support the business goals of the development and deliver the required level of service to users and residents.

“With the right strategy in place, maintainability and operational costs can then be optimised in line with best practices,” GFM said in a statement yesterday.

Managing director Ruslan Nordin said the partnership hoped to eventually participate in the subsequent phases, which includes providing the full scale of facility management services to the buildings once construction is complete.

“This strategic partnership kickstarts a constructive working relationship with UDA Group. As the BBCC project is in the early stages of construction, there is certainly more that we can contribute,” he added. — Bernama THE Malaysian rubber market ended mixed yesterday amid higher regional rubber futures markets, and as the weaker ringgit against the US dollar and steadier oil prices limited the loss, said a dealer.
