Facilities Management Services in UAE

Hard Services & MEP Maintenance

Planned and reactive maintenance of the mechanical, electrical, plumbing and life-safety systems your building depends on — often delivered by the teams who installed them.

Maintenance that protects the asset, not just the month

Al-Futtaim's Facilities Management division was established in 1975, primarily to provide operation and maintenance of mechanical, electrical, plumbing and civil services. That remains the core of what we do. Our maintenance packages are designed to optimise performance and prolong the life of building services installations — which means judging success by the condition of your plant in five years, not by how many tickets were closed last week.

Systems we maintain

HVAC and cooling

Chillers, air handling units, fan coils, pumps and controls — maintained, balanced and monitored for efficiency as well as availability.

Electrical systems

Distribution boards, panels, standby power, small power and lighting, inspected and maintained to a planned regime.

Plumbing and drainage

Domestic water, pumps, tanks, drainage and water quality management across the building.

Fire and life safety

Fire protection and detection systems maintained by a contractor approved by Dubai Civil Defence for design, installation and maintenance.

Vertical transport

Lifts and escalators supported by the group's dedicated elevators and escalators specialists.

Civil and fabric

Building fabric, finishes and associated civil works kept in serviceable condition.

Planned, corrective and predictive — in that order

We stand out by anticipating and resolving everyday issues through preventive, corrective and predictive maintenance. Planned work keeps plant within its design envelope; corrective work is resourced so that faults are closed rather than deferred; predictive techniques tell us which machine needs attention before it announces the fact by failing. The balance between the three is what separates a maintained building from an endlessly repaired one.

Refurbishment and upgrades

Not every problem is a maintenance problem. When plant reaches the end of its economic life, or a building changes use, we handle the refurbishment of MEP, civil and associated works for residential, commercial and industrial systems across the region. An extensive base of trained technicians, engineers and contract administration staff means an upgrade can be scoped, priced and delivered by the same organisation that has been maintaining the system — with the operating history to justify the recommendation.

  • Asset registers and planned maintenance schedules built from actual site survey
  • Round-the-clock mobile service units for reactive attendance
  • An established vendor network with stock available at short notice
  • Contract administration that reports honestly on what was done and what is due
  • Access to the group's engineering divisions for specialist work

Well-maintained plant is quiet, unremarkable and still running long after its warranty expired. That is the whole objective.
