Governance in
Facilities Management
Effective governance in facilities management (FM) is essential for ensuring compliance, risk mitigation, operational efficiency, and alignment with an organisation’s strategic goals. Strong governance frameworks provide clear policies, structures, and accountability mechanisms to optimise FM performance, manage resources effectively, and drive continuous improvement.
At MCP Consulting Group, we support organisations in developing robust FM governance frameworks, ensuring regulatory compliance, cost control, and enhanced service delivery.
