dc.description.abstract |
The role of a Facility Manager is to optimize the building performance and ensure smooth operations. The
importance of having a facility manager in the development phase of construction projects has been
recognised by a majority of the construction companies around the world. Sri Lankan construction sector
is yet to recognize the full potential of the Facility Manager, especially in fine tuning a construction project
and thus ensuring better operations later. The aim of this research was to identify the potential roles of a
Facility Manager and constraints in integrating a Facility Manager in building project development process
in Sri Lankan construction industry.
In order to achieve the objectives of this research 9 semi structured interviews were conducted among FM
and non-FM professionals of the building construction sector and 4 expert interviews were conducted
among experienced building construction professionals. Through the interviews, it was identified that
Facility Managers have several potential roles in a construction project such as facilities consultant,
facilities manager, facilities advisor, facilities supervisor, maintenance advisor and lighting planner.
Moreover, several constraints such as limited authority, financial constraints, communication lapses, lack
of resources, cost variations and knowledge gap etc. which have restricted the involvement of a FM were
recognized through the interviews. Finally, the expert opinions were used to recognize how to integrate the
FM in to construction projects by mitigating the constraints and how to utilize the FM knowledge and
competencies for building project development process. |
