Housing Society

Well, the facilities are owned by the housing society committee, or in another way, it can be said that the facilities are shared the property of all the owners of the units within the society. And the housing society committee, run by the members elected among and by the members of the society, is responsible for the maintenance and management of the facilities. Generally, the charges for the are included in the monthly maintenance bills and is divided among all the units equally. Also, some facilities say like personal usage of community hall (for ceremonies and parties) can be chargeable and to be paid by the particular member. In some places, even usage of the gymnasium and swimming pool can come with a subscription charge.

Therefore, if we have to define ‘Facility management’ for a housing society, it can be said, maintaining the usability condition of the facilities, managing the usage timing of the facilities and to take care of any dispute arising with regards to the facilities is what is called facility management.
