The Role of the Facility Manager in 2025

In recent years, the role of the Facility Manager has evolved dramatically. Once focused mainly on maintenance and space operations, it is now a strategic function integrating efficiency, sustainability and safety. By 2025, the Facility Manager increasingly collaborates with HSE (Health, Safety & Environment) teams to ensure a unified approach to building management, workplace safety and environmental performance.

With Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Digital Twin technologies, facility management has become data-driven and predictive. IoT sensors provide real-time information on temperature, humidity, occupancy and energy consumption, enabling Facility Managers and HSE professionals to make informed decisions that improve comfort, safety and cost efficiency.

In 2025, the Facility Manager plays a pivotal role in overseeing energy efficiency, occupational safety and environmental sustainability. Collaboration with HSE is essential for monitoring risks, ensuring regulatory compliance and creating healthier, safer workplaces.

Using an integrated CMMS (Computerized Maintenance Management System) combined with BIM and Digital Twin enables accurate tracking of maintenance activities, system performance and safety data — supporting both Facility Management and HSE teams in proactive and sustainable operations.

UTwin empowers this evolution with a single platform that integrates CMMS, BIM, IoT and Digital Twin. It enables Facility Managers and HSE professionals to collaborate seamlessly, monitor assets and optimize building performance in real time for safer, more efficient environments.
