Priorities in Facilty Management



Using this philosophy as a guide in facility management will keep you balanced and doing things in the right order. No one would argue that your facility needs to be “pretty” and many times that is where the focus is centered on. What if the roof leaks and ruins “pretty”? What if the HVAC works great but the parking lots has big holes in it?

If you are not careful, others will determine your priorities and you may become disorganized and ineffective. When a staff member comes to you with a need for new carpet in the Youth area, but you know the roof is in disrepair over that area, using this tool will help you stay focused and help the staff member to understand when you have to wait on his project.

When allocating large amounts of dollars for renovations, try using this a s a guide. You can still have a list of projects in different ministry areas that you have prioritize, but then filter them through this priority in facility management and watch your dollars stretch even further by not wasting valuable resources by doing things in the wrong order.

HOT TIP:

#1 Safety –keep your church campus free of hazards that would affect the safety of anyone coming to your church.

#2 Operational –keep your church free from major malfunctions that would hinder the church from being operational like lighting, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical.

#3 Cosmetic –keep your facility up to date with regards to the look and feel. Use a Work Order Management tool to help you manage what you have.
