KUWAIT will host its first Facility Management (FM) Congress this month (September 22) during the The Big 5 Kuwait construction show.

“Operations and maintenance and cleaning are known but in Kuwait the wide term of FM is not,” said Mick Dalton, chairman, British Institute of Facilities Management, who will chair the event.

FM Congress, to be held at the Kuwait International Fair in Kuwait City, will cover the sector, from initial involvement in construction projects and its role in retaining a building’s value, through to increasing the lifecycle of the asset, sustainability and energy saving.
