FM Auditing
Whether your FM services are delivered by an in-house team or an outsourced provider, regular external auditing helps ensure that your facilities are being managed to the agreed standards.
Vixus undertakes a 360° review of the services in question, looking beyond service standards alone to identify the root cause of any deficiencies.
We engage with the management team, service delivery personnel and the building’s end users to gain a full understanding of each stakeholder’s expectations and preferences.
Our audits can also be tailored to help clients who are seeking to achieve industry awards and internal standard accreditations.
- Building compliance health check
- Service standards inspections
- Review of FM team structure
- Supply chain compliance
- Systems and processes
- Customer satisfaction surveys

What our clients and suppliers say…
We have found a consultant who really has worked hard to understand our business and the results demonstrate this.
The whole exercise was professional throughout and was controlled and managed effectively, from the initial site survey, through to submission, presentation and finally award.
I would recommend Darien and the team to any potential client looking for a consultant to use who wishes to receive a fully transparent process, scored throughout and who will provide a tender appointment award based upon the whole engagement.
