Sustainability the key to future success for real estate development

Secondly, the ability of the built environment to cope with increased human capacity and their evolving needs, compromising neither the originator's core concept nor its property value throughout the development's lifespan.

In both cases, well-conceived facilities management strategies that appreciate interpretations such as these, add significant value not only to architectural master plans, but also to developers, operators and end-users alike.

Olive VFM works diligently to embed this value as they plan and deliver world-class facility management solutions in support of their client's real estate projects.

From the outset, Olive VFM works with multiple clients throughout the design, construction and operational phases of a built environment to identify and analyse business and end-user needs, develop sustainable strategies and deploy practical implementations of facility operations.

Headquartered in Bahrain, with offices in Dubai and expansions across the region, Olive VFM is a leading Facility Management company delivering services based on international standards tailored to regional requirements. These services include FM Consultancy, FM Operational Services and Infrastructure Co- Investment.

'The reason why Olive VFM has exhibited at BIPEX is down to our continuous commitment to gaining a greater understanding of the business needs of our market and demonstrating how our capabilities and innovative solutions in facility management can add significant value to their business. We believe BIPEX 07 was an excellent platform for Olive VFM to interact with the market and contribute to the progressive promotion of facility management values' Mohamed Yousif Al-Binfalah Chief Executive Officer, Olive VFM.

This specialist focus from Olive VFM is being applied on contracts with Al Areen Holdings, Durrat Al Bahrain, EMAAR, Nakheel, Sorouh and Dubai Dry Docks World to name a few.

With blue chip developments such as these, sustainability is key. The ability of any infrastructure to cope with future demands placed on it by residents and visitors and its escalating burden on transportation, utilities, security, IT, communications and other services is of vital importance.

From the outset, Olive VFM collaborates with clients throughout the design, construction and operational phases of a project, to identify and analyse business and end-user needs, develop sustainable strategies and support practical implementations of facility operations to ensure that the synergy between continued growth and profitability of the development remains at an optimal level, all the while verifying that the infrastructure's integrity meets the demands of the community it serves.
