Today is World FM Day, a moment to recognize the facility management professionals who keep the places we live, work, learn, and gather running safely, efficiently, and reliably. At The Building People, we see every day how much this work matters. Facility management is more than operations and maintenance. It is problem-solving, planning, resilience, innovation, and care for the people inside the buildings. To our IFM teams, partners, clients, and the FM professionals across the industry: thank you for the work you do behind the scenes to keep buildings performing and people supported. Happy World FM Day! #WorldFMDay #FacilityManagement #IntegratedFacilitiesManagement #WeMakeBuildingsHappy

Federal agencies are at a real estate inflection point. 0% of GSA buildings with available data meet the USE IT Act’s 60% utilization threshold. The federally owned portfolio faces a $50B deferred maintenance backlog. Right-sizing requires more than reducing space; it takes an integrated strategy that connects mission, facility condition, workforce needs, location, preservation requirements, and technology-enabled decision-making. The goal is not just a smaller portfolio. It is a smarter one.
