In depth
Understand the property decision before choosing.
Start with the hard, soft and integrated fm option that best matches your need. Compare the choices below, or tell Mayfair what you want to achieve if you are not sure which to choose.
Each option explains what to check before you proceed. A photo, approximate measurements or a product model can help, but you do not need a finished brief to start a conversation.
The route is narrowed using property type, occupancy or operating use, existing records, access, urgency, specification and the responsibilities of owners, occupiers, landlords, managers and appointed professionals.
At this level, cost depends on the child route selected, the condition and type of property, scale, access, timing, specification and whether qualified or specialist attendance is required.
For further background, the links below include Institute of Workplace and Facilities Management, Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, GOV.UK. They are general references, not an endorsement of Mayfair or a substitute for advice on your particular property.
Mayfair keeps the selected property-service context in the Property AI handoff, including the exact route and any location chosen, so the conversation begins here rather than starting again.
