IFMA and RICS have launched a landmark collaboration

The collaboration between IFMA and RICS promises to transform the US$1 trillion global facility management (FM) industry in order to sustain the growing demands of the 25 million FM practitioners around the world. Their main goal is to develop and professionalize the field of facility management.

Even if “there is a growing market demand for facility management skills around the world, currently there is a shortage of professionally qualified practitioners equipped to deliver this service.”, said RICS CEO Sean Tompkins.

Over the years, the IFMA and RICS research has demonstrated the tangible advantages of an effective facility management, beginning with improved productivity and cost savings till energy efficiency and employee well-being.

Formed in 1980, IFMA certifies professionals in facility management, conducts research, provides educational programs and produces World Workplace, the world’s largest facility management conference and exposition.

RICS promotes and enforces the highest professional qualifications and standards in the development and management of land, real estate, construction and infrastructure.
