The role of the facility contractor is challenging and important. There is an apparent need for the facility contractor to continuously grow and acquire better skills, wider knowledge and more effective work procedures in line with the advancement in technology and socio-economy so as to be globally competitive.
For the purpose of improving the capabilities of the registered facility contractor, the competency level of the company director and technical officers need be first evaluated and accreditated through Facility Management Manager and Facility Management Executive Accreditation Program based on competency standards that had been developed by the Board. The Board has made a requirement that only contractor companies with evaluated and accredited Company Director/Technical Officer are eligible for consideration to be registered as Facility Contractor of F01 and F02 Specialisation. However, accreditation is not confined to construction personnel involved in or, employed by a contractor, but is open to any construction personnel who are eligible and meets the requirements set by the Board.
For purposes of registration with the Board for the facility contractor of F01 and F02 specialisations, it is compulsory and much encouraged for the company director and technical personnel or any other construction personnel directly involved in facility management to apply for accreditation by the Board.
The objectives for accreditation are:
-
To elevate the construction facility management quality through implementation by qualified, accredited and competent personnel.
-
To ensure that both the Facility Manager and Facility Executive comply with the requirements of the National Occupational Skill Standard (NOSS) or any newly formulated industry standard.
-
Ascertaining Facility Contractor of F01 and F02 specialisation code registration regulations are adhered to.
-
Provision of a systematic, registration and accreditation platform.
