FM Resources

My last post offered an introduction to the AUGI Facilities Management Community.

FM means different things to different people, from real estate, to operations, to security and housekeeping and potential engineering and space or project management.

With so many different roles to fill, the resources cover an encyclopedic span.

If you have other post-occupancy resources that you consider vital, let me know! mistressofthedorkness@gmail.com
