The management scope of large office buildings and corporate headquarters is becoming increasingly specialized. It requires the organic operation of various fields, including not only facility maintenance but also security, cleaning, energy management, parking, and tenant convenience. In particular, with growing interest in the work environment, maintaining a pleasant and safe working environment has become a critical management task. Management methods also need to be subdivided according to the building's scale, purpose, and usage characteristics. Such systematic and meticulous building management serves as a key factor not only in stably preserving asset value but also in enhancing employee engagement and corporate competitiveness.
From facility management to leasing and contracts… subdivided into specialized services
As the demand for building management grows, related services are also becoming subdivided by specialized areas. This approach involves specialized facility management firms focusing on the physical maintenance of buildings, such as electrical, mechanical, security, and cleaning services, while the lease management sector handles tasks like contracts, collections, tenant management, and vacancy management.
Collaboration with specialized facility management companies, such as Proescom (32 years in business, annual revenue of 359.1 billion KRW, 256 sites nationwide), which possesses experience in managing landmarks and large-scale projects, is one example of this change. As facility management capabilities accumulated primarily in large offices and corporate headquarters expand into the realm of small and medium-sized building management, the scope of work handled by PM services is also broadening.
Management methods are also becoming digitized. Services have emerged that can handle essential building operations—such as visitor management, parking pass issuance, lease expiration notifications, and meeting room reservations—within a single system. Additionally, rental management platforms like 'ezREMS' are being utilized to digitally manage contracts, payments, arrears, and complaint handling.
From the building owner's perspective, it is becoming increasingly important to be able to systematically connect necessary management areas rather than assigning each task separately. This is because if facility and leasing operations are managed separately, the building owner must coordinate schedules with each company and monitor their progress.
