Rethinking facility services: A smarter, integrated approach
Facility services are critical to the performance and appearance of your properties. Whether you manage a single location or a portfolio of properties, there are a lot of priorities to consider—consistency, quality, reliability, sustainability. And while cost can be a factor, it’s not the only challenge.
For corporate and commercial property owners, facility services can take time away from what matters most—running your business. This is where outsourcing can help. When done the right way, outsourcing allows you to stay focused on your strategic goals while your facility services run seamlessly in the background. However, if your current solution isn’t delivering measurable results, it may be time for a more comprehensive approach.
The trouble with traditional outsourcing
In most cases, companies may start by outsourcing individual services to vendors as needed—HVAC, janitorial, electrical, landscaping, and so on. While this gives you access to specialists, it also creates a complex web of contracts, service standards, invoices, and points of contact. Managing all of this takes time and can create inconsistencies across your facilities.
Integrated Facility Management (IFM) was supposed to be the answer. But for many companies, it simply shifts the burden rather than eliminating it. Traditional Facility Management companies often subcontract most services, adding extra fees and layers of separation between you and the teams doing the work. This model can create siloed operations, fragmented reporting, and perhaps most importantly—a lack of transparency.
A better way forward: ABM Performance Solutions
ABM Performance Solutions offers a smarter model: Integrated Facility Services (IFS) powered by self-performance. This approach aligns all services under one provider, streamlining operations, providing higher quality services, and a single point of contact. That means more time for you to focus on your business.
With ABM Performance Solutions, you stay in control. We deliver comprehensive, consolidated reporting, consistent standards across all facilities, and a team that shares your goals and values. And because we self-perform the majority of services, we can ensure accountability, responsiveness, and cost efficiency.
The value of self-performance
Self-performing services means more of your budget goes where it matters: into high-quality facility services rather than third-party markups, hidden costs, or overhead. Consider this:
- Less overhead, more value: With ABM managing its own teams, we eliminate unnecessary markups, provide cost efficiencies, and pass the savings on to you.
- High-caliber talent: Our team members are well-trained, well-compensated, and committed to delivering exceptional service.
Strategic subcontracting—only when it makes sense
In regions where we’re still expanding our local presence or when supplier diversity is a goal, we collaborate with trusted service partners. These partners meet the same high standards as our internal teams, undergo rigorous screening, and are managed through our robust procurement and oversight systems.
