description The migration from conventional maintenance to facility management is an on-going process for all high-rise buildings in Malaysia, especially for government-owned buildings. For a government-linked company (GLC), the situation is different as the budget for the maintenance is allocated internally and the internal maintenance staff overheads will be borne by the GLC. Nowadays, organisations will focus on their core business to maximise their profits and will leave the building maintenance to their maintenance contractor to provide such services for their buildings. The decision to carry out the maintenance internally or to outsource to a Facilities Management (FM) service provider will depend on the amount of budget allocated. The qualitative technique is used in this research to source the information by interviewing experienced managers who are experienced in FM. Internal data from companies applying for direct negotiation works is also a source of information.
