Best Design Practices
A good office design makes a
positive impact in maintaining the
facility as it helps to reduce the
maintenance and operational cost.
Facility layout and design is not only an
important component of a business’s overall
operations, but also helps maximising the
efficiency and productivity of employees.
The key to good facility layout and
design is the integration of the needs of
people, materials and machinery in such
a way that they create a single, well-
functioning system.”
The FM industry is continuously evolving –
from being a support function, it has created
its space in the boardroom. For a facility
manager to survive in today’s environment,
he has to be willing to adopt new technologies
and industry best practices, look for newer ways
to add value, efficiency and customer satisfaction
at a controlled cost. Today, with business getting
more competitive, profit margins reducing, there
is a need to achieve more with less. Designing
smart, efficient, adaptable workspaces greatly
contributes towards the productivity and bottom
line of the company.”
