Why 'Value Engineering' is Creating Your Future Maintenance Nightmare

In this episode, we dive into the dirty secret of value engineering—how cutting corners in capital expenditure creates future operational debt—and why facility managers are constantly left holding the work orders.

Join us for candid discussions about how emerging technologies and smarter practices can help bridge the gap between FM theory and FM reality—before it's too late.
