What does FM FORWARD mean for facilities managers?

FM FORWARD has started an important conversation for our profession. Here are answers to the questions you may have.

What is FM FORWARD?
A joint initiative of SAFMA and the SACQSP to advance the professional recognition of facilities management in South Africa. It is a landmark step towards statutory professional recognition, not confirmation that statutory recognition has already been granted.

What is SAFMA's role?
As a Recognised Voluntary Association, SAFMA is facilitating the process of Professional Categorisation of facilities management under the SACQSP.

What does it mean for me today?
SAFMA's four registered professional designations, from Certified Facilities Practitioner to Accredited Facilities Professional, give practitioners a framework for demonstrating competence and commitment to ongoing professional development. Members adhere to a Code of Professional Conduct and keep up their CPD.

What happens next?
SACQSP President Arthur Quphe has described the next 18 months as crucial in advancing the sector toward professional recognition. We will share updates as the process moves forward.

What can I do now?
Keep your CPD up to date, explore a SAFMA designation if you do not yet hold one, and follow SAFMA for updates.

As SAFMA Board Member John Samuel said, "Professional recognition is not an end point; it's a responsibility."

A new chapter for facilities management in South Africa.

Today marks a significant moment for the profession. SAFMA and the SACQSP announced FM FORWARD, a landmark step towards statutory professional recognition for facilities management in South Africa.

A joint initiative of the South African Facilities Management Association (SAFMA) and South African Council for the Quantity Surveyors Profession (SACQSP), FM FORWARD brought together industry leaders, professional bodies and key stakeholders. It signals a shared commitment to advancing professional recognition, strengthening standards and recognising facilities management's vital contribution to South Africa's built environment.

Stronger standards. Greater recognition. New possibilities.

Thank you to our Platinum members, the SAFMA and SACQSP boards, our speakers, the media and everyone who joined us at Southern Sun, Hyde Park.
