18 Nov 2020 plus news and update

Plus Property acknowledges its strength in being a professional partner and advisor for building owners and proprietors. Facility management and building systems servicing are designed in accordance with each building’s configuration and its utility, and makes use of the highly advanced Building+ operating system.
Obtains work at 6 new projects, comprising large commercial buildings operated under diverse business categories that include healthcare, office space and mall – a good indication of the confidence that building owners had in PLUS.
Points to the need for facility management service providers to quickly adjust to accommodate the ‘New Normal’ trends for office buildings worldwide, wherein emphasis is being had on technology.

Mr. Chan Sirirat, Deputy Managing Director of Facility Management Division, Plus Property Company Limited, the full-service professional property and facility management agency, revealed that PLUS’s 25 years of experience in facility management has recently enabled it to secure the confidence of 6 new customers, all of whom were enlisting the service of Plus Property for their large buildings.

The buildings include

Bank of Ayudhya building (Ploenchit Office);
KPN Tower;
Viriyahbhun building (hosting the offices of the Viriyah Insurance group);
Academy Centre building of Chulalongkorn Hospital;
Union Mall shopping centre;
New head office of Chia Tai Co. Ltd. at Sukhumvit soi 60.

As a result, the portfolio of commercial property projects utilising PLUS’s facility management service has grown to encompass some 30 projects. PLUS now has some 22 million square feet of area under its facility management portfolio.

PLUS’s strong point is differentiation. This begins with a determination to carry out work that meets the global standard level, and professionally performing the role of a partner that assists the building owner in looking after and improving the building – with both parties working towards the same goal.

Services and the administration model are designed to match the type and utility of each building, and are delivered by professionals who are experienced and who receive continuous training to augment knowledge and work skills.

Technologies and innovations are applied to facility management; the Building+ operating system – PLUS’s proprietary work tool – links to the Internet of Things (IoT) to provide clients with seamless, speedy, accurate and efficient service. The aforementioned enables PLUS to penetrate client groups in diverse industries, including but not limited to office buildings, warehouses, financial institutions, healthcare providers, educational institutes and community malls.

“Examining the market for facility management this year, which is a year when all business sectors have received repercussions from COVID-19 and also a transition period into the digital era, make bare an increased reliance on technology.

In the property sector, ‘PropTech’ is being widely implemented in order to augment work efficiency. For example, ‘Command Centre’ – a fully equipped centralized monitoring and control centre. The centre is an example of full deployment of PropTech, in order to monitor against emergencies in real time.

Another important factor is the consideration given to the management of aspects relating to health, hygiene and ergonomics at the workplace. PLUS is drawing attention to Health and Wellness as well as Safety Technology, which are trends that are currently receiving attention globally.

We are confident these will become important components of facility management work in the new era. The facility manager needs to add operational guidelines to promote wellness and hygiene of building users. For example, a Wellness Indoor initiative for the building’s interior would enable building users to work within a good environment and under good quality air.

The air filtration system for the building has to be maintained and regulated to produce good air circulation and to keep out as much filth, PM 2.5 dust, viruses and bacteria as possible.

Furthermore, examples of technologies that have had increased roles accommodative of the ‘New Normal’ – the new way in which people are living at present – are cleaning robots, security robots, use of cloud technology to augment work within buildings (Work from Anywhere) and the Smart Parking Tech,” said Mr. Chan.
