Facility Management
For over 17 years Facility Management (FM) has been the only Australian publication dedicated exclusively to the facilities management industry.
Published bimonthly, FM is a truly independent publication. Its editorial is tailored to meet the needs of readers – not the vested interests of industry associations. As a result, FM is firmly established as the magazine of first choice for marketing products and services to the purchasing decision-makers responsible for the management of all aspects of the built environment.
Current Issue!
Welcome to the Aug-Sep 10 issue of Facility Management, Australia’s premier independent publication servicing the information needs of facility managers and allied professionals in the property maintenance sector.
In this issue we present a detailed expose of Australia’s cabling crisis; our buildings are being choked by data and electrical cabling and major policy reforms are needed to correct entrenched problems.
And don’t miss the following important features: Retail, Storage, and Landscaping.
Retail
Commercial pressures in retail environments are always present – the facility manager must deliver eye-catching external and internal signage, hygienic washrooms, OHS-compliant access, water-saving HVAC units – and everything else that goes into making a trouble-free, joyous shopping experience!. See our special case study profiling the new Doncaster BMW complex in Bundoora, Melbourne.
Storage
Property purchase and lease costs per square metre are enough to reduce seasoned businesspeople to tears, so the facility manager who can squeeze extra functionality out of limited storage space is delivering tangible returns to his company. We look at automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS), as well as the latest developments in data storage.
Landscaping
Many facility managers think of landscaping as a rectangular garden in front of a building… but a new generation of building designers and managers is embracing a far bolder definition of landscaping – one that places plant life within, above and wrapped around a building.
And much, much more!
