Hard FM
Hard FM covers the engineering and fabric of a building: heating and ventilation, power, water services, fire and life-safety support and the building fabric itself. Allied Force Group plans this work per tagged asset using SFG20-aligned task content, and records every closed job against the asset register.
Building services maintained on a PPM schedule built from the asset register, with reactive attendance when something falls outside tolerance. Task content is set against SFG20-aligned schedules where they apply to the asset, work is carried out under RAMS and permit-to-work, and statutory activity is coordinated with your own duty holders. Scope is confirmed following a site review.

Hard FM questions
What is the difference between hard FM and soft services?
Hard FM covers the physical plant and fabric of a building — HVAC, electrical distribution, water services, lifts, fire systems and the structure. Soft services cover the people-facing side: cleaning, waste, hygiene, grounds and front of house.
How is planned maintenance scheduled?
Planned maintenance is scheduled per tagged asset rather than per visit, using SFG20-aligned task content where it applies, with a frequency and a statutory reference where one exists. The schedule sits in the CAFM system alongside the reactive record.
How are reactive repairs handled?
Reactive jobs are logged on the helpdesk with a priority, triaged, RAMS reviewed where the task requires it, attended and closed with evidence: timestamp, engineer identity, parts used and a photograph where the work is not otherwise visible.
What compliance records are produced?
Statutory and compliance tasks are tracked with logbook entries and O&M records, so the evidence behind a completion figure can be produced on request rather than assembled later.
