Building Services deliver the comfort, security, safety, communication, protection, movement, and control that tenant’s need in their buildings. Without these different systems, the modern Built Environment would simply not function. The correct management, operation, and maintenance of these Building Services systems is therefore crucial.
This course begins by examining different Building Services systems and the crucial role they play in making properties work. The course then explores the 14 categories of Building Services to understand different systems and their maintenance requirements. As the course progresses, common maintenance terminology and the procurement of maintenance services are also discussed.

The world is packed with information; and most organizations struggle to recognize what information they have, why they need it, how long they need it for, and if it has any value. Furthermore, changes in the law, such as the recent changes in the UAE employment law, often call for tighter controls on contract documentation, and lead to a need for enhanced management of human resource and contract records. In addition, electronic information is under threat from cyber-attack and personal information is at risk of exposure. As such, the development and implementation of a records management program that includes document control methods to identify, secure, and protect critical information, is necessary for every organization.

Organizations typically start using electronic document management systems to transform paper-based operations after reaching an internal tipping point in which customer response times become too slow, departments don’t have enough bandwidth to solve recurring process bottlenecks, paper archiving becomes too costly or large-scale regulatory risks are exposed during a data breach or compliance fines.
For organizations that have defined but resource-intensive business processes, EDMS is an ideal fit. Document management helps organizations across industries sidestep this busy work entirely by eliminating manual document maintenance, reclaiming valuable staff time, and boosting the bottom-line.
It is universally recognized that for any company to succeed it must take a proactive approach to risk management.

A focus on the use of productive practices allows for effective and efficient management of project work, establishing priorities and meeting deadlines, and is an important part of customer service.
