Facility management trends in Spain

This project is part of a series of projects carried out by the University of Vienna and its Real State and Facility Management Department. The project seeks to complement the information obtained in similar studies that other students did in 2014 and 2016 on the departments of Facility Management of Spanish companies. The Spanish companies studied are from the Top 500 in terms of revenue and all have answered a questionnaire of 28 questions about their department, how they are organized, their outsourcing strategies and their IT programs. Once analyzed and studied the evolution of each FM area in Spain, it has been compared with other European countries where it has been carried similar studies. The selected countries are: Switzerland, Germany, Austria and Romania. To sum up, FM is an increasing area in Spain and it still has a lot to be developed in small and medium-sized companies. However, those who already have the department of FM integrated in their hierarchy recognise that it have benefits in both savings and productivity.
