A facility management contract (FM contract for short) regulates the comprehensive support and management of real estate or properties by an external service provider. The aim is to ensure both the value retention and the functionality of the building while efficiently organizing operational processes. FM contracts are becoming increasingly important, especially for commercial or public clients who wish to outsource their building management.
The special feature of an FM contract is its complexity. It can include technical, infrastructural and commercial services. These include the maintenance of facilities, cleaning services, security services, energy and cost management as well as operator responsibility management. Depending on the agreement, the contract can include individual services or a comprehensive service package as part of integrated facility management.
A key component of an FM contract is the service description. It defines exactly which activities must be performed, to what extent, at what times and to what quality standards.
Another decisive aspect is the long-term contractual commitment. FM contracts are usually concluded for several years to ensure continuity and planning security on both sides. Flexibility and adaptability to changing conditions – such as legal requirements or user needs – are key requirements for a well-designed contract.
Overall, an FM contract is more than just a service contract – it is a strategic instrument that contributes significantly to the efficiency, security and value retention of real estate. A precise structure and partnership-based cooperation between the client and service provider are crucial for long-term success.
