Facilities Management and Emergencies: What Happens When Things Go Wrong?
Working in facilities management for over 30 years has really prepared us for all kinds of situations. Our building managers in Sydney, Newcastle, Central Coast, Wollongong and Canberra could write books on what they’ve seen and learnt. Instead, our team uses this knowledge to ensure our facility management services are of the highest standard, and our clients know they can rely on us to provide a solid solution in any situation. CGS Facilities Management employees are also highly trained and kept up to date with new techniques and technologies they need to do their jobs to a standard that other building management companies find hard to match. What we’re really trying to say here is that we’ve got you covered!
How We Approach Emergencies as Facility Management Services Providers
Emergencies pop up in our line of work, so it’s important our highly skilled and professional team members, as well as our clients, know the game plan for when these happen. First of all, communication is crucial to us – that means, if there is an emergency at your commercial building or property, please do not hesitate to pick up the phone and let us know (no matter what time of the day it is). Like all quality building management companies, we offer 24/7 support to our clients to deal with emergencies or any unexpected issues that arise.
We always endeavour to come to your aid as soon as possible, and our response time to your emergency and/or issue will come down to how urgent the situation is. You can be confident in knowing that we will take immediate action in critical situations as everyone’s safety is paramount. Our building managers in Sydney and beyond also want to minimise any time your building or property may be out of action.
Combatting Emergencies with Proactive Facilities Management
Unexpected issues and situations are a fact of life. But our incredible team likes to make sure the chance of them happening is small. Building management companies must be proactive in the care and maintenance of your commercial property or building. That means always complying with safety regulations, as well as predicting and remedying situations before they happen. Here are some ways we do that through our superior facility management services:
- Fire prevention – this is extremely important and must be taken very seriously to ensure the safety of those who use your building, as well as the property itself. We make sure your building or property is set up with everything it needs in case of a fire emergency. CGS Facilities Management building managers in Sydney and beyond also put up appropriate signage to alert those in the building what to do in case they need to evacuate. You can read more about our fire prevention techniques and find a list of what you can expect from us in this area, over on our Fire Prevention Services page. Or feel free to read our latest fire prevention blog post.
- Security – when it comes to security facility management, our solutions are comprehensive. Depending on the needs of your building, we offer 24/7 monitoring, regular patrols, highly experienced and trained security guards, CCTV systems and access control systems. The people using or living/working in your building will feel at ease knowing there is a system in place, and it also means that we can prevent any threatening activity to the building or your residents, tenants and stakeholders. Find out more on our Security Services page or you can read this blog post: ‘The 4 Benefits of Security Facility Management’.
- Cleaning – CGS Facilities Management makes sure your building, car parks and communal areas are hazard-free and hygienic. Our building managers in Sydney and the other areas we work conduct regular checks to make sure our high standards are being upheld and that safety is being prioritised. You can read more about our cleaning solutions on our Cleaning Services page.
- Landscaping – our facility management services include arborist tree removal, general landscaping and garden cleanups. This makes sure your grounds are clear of debris, as well as perform ongoing garden maintenance to ensure safety and good functionality in your outdoor spaces. We also offer year-round pool maintenance. Learn more about this on our Landscaping Services page.
