Course overview
Hotels, resorts, serviced apartments and residential estates depend on facilities that are safe, available, presentable and economical to operate. Failures in guest-room readiness, lift availability, water systems, fire safety, housekeeping coordination, contractor control or energy management quickly affect occupancy, reviews, revenue and resident confidence. Facilities managers must convert property standards and service promises into planned work, measurable service levels, controlled costs and reliable records.
This course develops the operational and management skills required to run facilities services for hospitality and residential property portfolios. Participants examine the facilities management operating model, asset registers, planned preventive maintenance, helpdesk workflows, housekeeping interfaces, building services, health and safety controls, contractor management, procurement, budgeting and sustainability reporting. They apply recognised methods including ISO 41001 concepts, service-level agreements, lifecycle costing, risk registers, RACI matrices and performance dashboards.
Teaching combines focused instructor briefings with property-based cases, group analysis, service-failure simulations, document reviews and application planning. Participants work progressively on a facilities management plan for a hotel, serviced apartment building, resort or residential estate. They leave with reusable templates for service specifications, maintenance planning, contractor governance, risk control, budget monitoring and performance reporting, plus a certificate of completion.
The course suits managers responsible for property operations, engineering, accommodation services, estates, building maintenance or outsourced facilities contracts. It is particularly useful where owners, hotel operators, asset managers and service providers must coordinate around agreed standards, transparent costs and resident or guest experience.
