Keeping buildings functional
Facility maintenance is the work of keeping buildings and their systems in good operating condition.
This includes routine tasks like cleaning, repairs, and inspections, as well as managing heating, plumbing, electrical, and security systems.
The facility maintenance team replaced all the HVAC filters last week.
Large organizations often have dedicated facility maintenance departments or contract the work out.
