The Built Reality
What does “best practice” facility management actually look like—and why does it rarely match reality? In this podcast, Josh and Nic tackle the gap between the FM lifecycle as it’s taught in textbooks and how it actually plays out on the ground.
Join us for candid discussions about how emerging technologies and smarter practices can help bridge the gap between FM theory and FM reality—before it’s too late.
