SFG20, the industry standard

SFG20 is the industry standard for building maintenance. Organisations use the standard across various sectors to ensure legal and regulatory compliance.

Compliance is a key component of facilities management. Not just because of the importance of complying with key regulations but also because of the high-profile incidents that have drawn the public’s attention to the maintenance of buildings.

Investing in SFG20 allows you to stay on top of legislation, and its updates. The benefits of applying the standard include the following:

1. Task frequencies help users understand the level of maintenance for an asset, ensuring they are not under or over-maintained, which can result in cost savings.
2. Well-managed assets have proven to use less energy.
3. By understanding which tasks are statutory and which are not, resources can be focussed accordingly to keep organisations safe and legal.
4. Tasks contain skill sets. Some tasks can be performed in-house, with little training, resulting in cost savings vs outsourcing the work.

Legislation focuses on general outcomes rather than specific activities. Doing this research yourself can be incredibly time-consuming. Outsourcing this can save you significant time and cost.
