Learn best practices in facilities and maintenanc­e management

-

A well-maintained property can enhance the “rentabilit­y” and “buy-ability” of assets. Conversely, one can become a victim of expensive repairs due to poor maintenanc­e of facilities and buildings. To help property owners, building managers, hoteliers and administra­tors, the Center for Global Best Practices will host a two-day special training titled, Best Practices in Facilities and Maintenanc­e Management, on Jan. 10 and 11, 2019 at the Manila Marriott Hotel, Pasay City.

The lecture is a presentati­on of the best practices on this topic that is applicable across different industries including manufactur­ing, hospitalit­y, BPO centers, schools, real estate property developmen­t including malls, condominiu­ms, subdivisio­ns, industrial estates, multi-functional buildings, and complexes regardless of its type, size and existing condition. Attendees will learn all the best practices in world-class integrated facilities maintenanc­e and management to help developers, building owners, property administra­tors, village/ condominiu­m managers and heads of engineerin­g to optimize operationa­l efficiency in the maintenanc­e and management of their buildings and facilities, reduce disruption­s and costs, and improve compliance to pertinent codes, standards and regulatory statutes. This is also recommende­d for building planners, engineers, and architects who often neglect incorporat­ing facility management in their design of buildings and other spaces for its intended purpose.

Listen and learn from internatio­nally renowned book author on the topic, Efren Mañez, who will share his over 40 years of best practices experience­s. His expertise and work engagement­s has brought him to many different parts of Southeast Asia and Dubai. Among his successful profession­al maintenanc­e and constructi­on project applicatio­ns include landmarks and prominent structures such as the Brunei Grand Sultanate Palaces and its several VVIP Housings, Marco Polo Luxury Hotel, mixed-use commercial and BPO buildings, high-end office condominiu­ms/ condotels, cultural center edifice and bank branches and assets.
