Facility
Management
SFM provides integrated Facility Management services tailored to schools, churches, and mission-driven organizations, so your leadership team can focus on teaching, worship, and community impact—not work orders and emergencies.
What Our Facility Management Service Includes
Our Facility Management offering is a comprehensive, on-the-ground partnership—not just a help desk or an outsourced crew. We align with your mission, culture, and long-term plans to oversee:
Day-to-Day Facility Operations
- Oversight of campus buildings, classrooms, worship spaces, and common areas
- Coordination of vendors, contractors, and internal staff
- Work order management and preventive maintenance scheduling
Strategic Facility Planning & Stewardship
- Long-range capital planning and asset life-cycle forecasting
- Budgeting support to reduce surprises and smooth out year-over-year costs
- Roadmaps to systematically address deferred maintenance instead of deferring it again
Integrated Maintenance & Technical Services
- Coordination with SFM’s technical teams for HVAC, electrical, plumbing, carpentry, doors & windows
- Life & safety inspections and compliance support
- Fast response for urgent issues to protect uptime for classes, services, and events
Custodial & Grounds Oversight
- Alignment of custodial, porter, and event setup services with your standards
- Coordination of grounds maintenance (turf, beds, Playgrounds, irrigation) to ensure a safe, welcoming campus
Security & Technology Integration
- Collaboration with Serva Security for armed security, emergency response training, and security assessments
- Coordination of technology systems such as audio/visual, alarms, access control, and cameras
Instead of juggling multiple vendors, you have one integrated Facility Management partner who understands your mission and your entire campus.
Why Mission-Driven Organizations Choose SFM
SFM is built from the ground up to serve independent schools, churches, and mission-focused nonprofits. Our Facility Management approach is:
Mission-Centric and Culture-Aware
We spend time understanding how your school day, worship services, and programs actually run. Then we design Facility Management routines that:
- Respect academic schedules, liturgical calendars, and community events
- Minimize disruption during peak times (chapel, assemblies, Sunday worship)
- Support your brand of hospitality—clean, safe, and welcoming spaces
Proactive and Data-Driven
We help you get out of “break-fix” mode. Our Facility Management teams use inspections, asset data, and trend monitoring to:
- Shift work from emergency repairs to planned preventive maintenance
- Create multi-year facilities plans that reduce deferred maintenance
- Improve budgeting predictability and help leadership plan with confidence

- Operations, custodial, and grounds
