Abstract
Objectives: Facility Management (FM) paves the way for sustainable improvements in building performance. It is a tool which allows the maintenance and operation of the buildings more effectively. Most of the designers used to design and develop all buildings without considering the requirements of FM. The main aim of this study is to analyse the importance of facility management, its phases and the role of facility manager in terms of construction perspective. Methods: The office buildings require some special considerations of FM during the implementation of different phases of the Facility which starts from the phases of planning and design until the phases of operation and maintenance. For this, the role of facility manager along with the phases of FM is identified. Then, the tasks and responsibilities of the facility manager along with the construction manager and the decision manager are also compared. Finally, the causes of executing the FM along with various suggestions to improve it are also depicted. Findings: This study identified the importance of facility manager and their role in FM during the life-cycle of the construction in order to protect them and to obtain the satisfaction among the customers. The tasks and responsibilities of the facility manager, construction manager and the decision manager are also identified. Applications: An extensive survey has been performed on various buildings in order to monitor and to point out the opinions about the uses of the facility manager in the design of buildings. Analysis of this survey illustrates the various advantages and dis advantages of the applications of facility manager in buildings. Finally, this study depicts the significance and role of facility manager along with the phases of FM in improving the performance of buildings.

Highlights
The Facility Management (FM) comprises of building various corporate buildings, inventories for the real estate spaces, various constructions as projects which involves various phases such as the design phase, construction phase and the renovation phase, its maintenance and furnishing facilities etc
This study aims to find the application of FM in the performance of buildings, its life cycle along with its phases carried out in[6]
All the types of buildings where considered for the application of FM
Summary
The FM comprises of building various corporate buildings, inventories for the real estate spaces, various constructions as projects which involves various phases such as the design phase, construction phase and the renovation phase, its maintenance and furnishing facilities etc. It manages all the various factors that enable the available facility to become an advantageous factor for its users. The FM requires various services running properly and more efficiently. The overall FM process depends on the skill of workers, experience of its users and, computer based techniques in order to provide, a clear accuracy. In most of the cases, many buildings were only monitored and maintained, cleaned and serviced without considering the main phase of the FM. The designers of buildings don’t follow the various operations, timely maintenance/repair or the user’s satisfaction in the buildings
