佳居锦囊：管理商用建筑物的学问
你有没有听闻过有人被故障的手扶梯“活生生吞噬”，或者购物商场内松脱的栏杆导致孩童从高处跌落致死的惨剧？ 当我们在强调住宅房屋必须获得妥善的物业管理时，别忘了商用产业也需要有良好的管理文化，并严格遵守定时的保养程序。 大马产托管理经理协会主席拿督Jeffrey Ng指出，相较与住宅房产，办公楼和购物商场等商用房产的业主和用户的需求有很大不同。 由于商用房产的用户大多是创业家和专业人士，因此他们要求的不止是基本的干净、保安、安全和水电等设施的提供。 “这些房产的业主和用户，通常都会因为办公空间与生产力息息相关，而有着严格的要求。比方说，有些用户是跨国企业，它们对建筑物可永续方面有着世界级的水平要求，而国内建筑物难以满足这个要求，尤其是那些已经建好的建筑物。” 据他所说，这方面的挑战涵盖了建筑物设计和营运层面，当中包括： 遵守严格安全准则和能够良好应用空间的设计 可减低等待时间的高效垂直运输系统 可靠的电力与通讯服务 具备特定空气温度、湿度和营运时间的空调供应 提供充足的室内灯光与日光 为员工和客户提供充足的停车位 因此，这些商用产业的管理经理必须在商业趋势、要求、建筑物设计和保养方面有着深入的了解，才能应付这些挑战。 此外，为了确保建筑物的盈利能力，管理经理必须仔细审核该建筑物的租金收入和营运开销。 “在提升租金收入方面，物业管理经理必须常常审视市场趋势的变化，并根据这些趋势提升建筑物，从而保持竞争力。” 他点出，商用房产管理最常被忽略的一个层面，就是延长建筑物生命周期的预防性保养措施。 “一个良好的物业管理，也包括采用最新的科技，以提高效率和生产力，而这些都牵涉到营运和资本开销。但我们很少听见有人坚持和持续为建筑物保养投入资金。” 原文已于2018年6月29日的EdgeProp.
