Routine work moves. Exceptions reach experienced judgment.

02 · The operating gap

When the work is real, but another full-time hire isn't the answer.

Portfolio growth without matching facilities headcount pushes ownership to operations and generalists. During vacancies or overload, aging work orders, vendor follow-up, SLA issues, missed PMs, compliance and documentation gaps, and poor portfolio visibility compound.

01

Priorities & oversight

Surface risks and exceptions. Keep priorities and location visibility clear.

02

Work-order decisions

Review exceptions and estimate context. Intervene when routine workflow requires judgment.

03

Vendor accountability

Own vendor follow-up, SLA and performance visibility. Drive escalation and closeout.

04

Budget, compliance & reporting

Maintain spend, PM and compliance status. Keep documentation and reporting current.

03 · The Sweven model

Senior FM judgment, connected to execution.

Not recruiter-only staffing. Not a consultant who disappears. Not self-serve software or replacement trade labor.

Strong fit

  • Commercial property and multi-location portfolios with recurring maintenance complexity
  • Multiple vendors or locations, portfolio growth or transition
  • Overloaded leadership needing stronger work-order, PM, compliance, and reporting discipline

Not a fit

  • One-off handyman or trade request
  • Software-only need or no recurring operating problem
  • No internal sponsor for approvals or standards

04 · Common questions

Fractional FM, without the ambiguity.

What is fractional facilities management?

Experienced facilities leadership for recurring oversight and decisions—without another full-time role.

How is a Fractional Facilities Manager different from a full-time facilities manager?

A full-time FM owns the function daily. A Fractional FM adds right-sized leadership where the workload does not justify permanent headcount.

Does a Fractional FM replace our existing facilities team?

No. They strengthen priorities, exceptions, vendor accountability, and portfolio visibility.

Can we keep our existing vendors?

Yes. The client keeps vendor selection, approval, and commercial authority.

Is Sweven a staffing service or facilities management software?

Neither alone. Sweven connects FM judgment, coordinated workflows, and vendor accountability.

How does the Sweven FFM Network work?

Sweven assesses the operating need, then helps identify relevant facilities experience from the dedicated Network.

What happens if we later hire a full-time facilities leader?

The workflows, priorities, and vendor context create a clearer transition for the incoming leader.
