A number of factors are changing the facilities management landscape in Australia. Cerno Group attests that an increased focus and demand on legislation and compliance in the property sector is directly affecting the delivery of facilities management. So too is property insurance that has become exponentially more expensive in recent years; low interest rates that are resulting in property investments becoming more sought after; and the zero-emission drive throughout the world that is forcing smarter and better operational efficiency of buildings. Effective and value-add facilities management has now shifted to those teams with ability to demonstrate additional skills – skills in understanding and interpreting legislation, in negotiating insurance, in interpreting investment financials, and expertise in emission efficiencies of buildings. Teams with expertise in these areas, in addition to the core facilities skills, are best placed to become leaders in the field. Moodie sums up the reasons behind the company’s continuing success, sharing, “At Cerno Group, we strive to be authentic and contemporary. We genuinely care and have built a professional team of people that go the extra mile to meet our clients’ needs. This is how we do business.”
