Last month the FMA released its 2017-18 Facilities Management Industry Census. Produced in partnership with Programmed Facility Management, the 2017-18 Facilities Management Industry Census gauges the perceptions of those engaged in facilities management, including FM practitioners, purchasers and suppliers.
Now in its sixth edition, the census creates a snapshot of the industry across Australia and New Zealand, examining demographics, education, building portfolios and outsourcing.
Winners of the awards will be announced at the Awards Gala Dinner at the Grand Hyatt Melbourne on Thursday 15 November.
