Abstract

An efficient and effective management of facilities requires considering all the product and services related to a building’s entire life at an early stage. The interdisciplinary Facility Management (FM) approach advocates accordant concepts and techniques with the intention to reduce the total costs of facilities. A successful FM needs to bring together several actors involved in planning and operating a facility in a network organization. The specification of information flows and coordination mechanisms between these actors is complex, and in this paper we argue that reference models can speed-up this process. We elaborated more than 50 process models that uncover the interaction in FM service networks through interviews and workshops with practitioners. This research-in-progress develops a reference model of the interactions between conventional construction enterprises and specific FM service providers based on this empirical data following an iterative research process.
