Trends and Predictions for FM in 2026

In 2026, the facilities management landscape continues to shift...

Regulatory frameworks like the Building Safety Act are moving from policy into full enforcement. Financial constraints are biting - over 75% of FMs reported budget pressure in 2025. But expectations haven’t dropped, if anything, they’ve increased!

Smart FM leaders are focusing on:

  • Whole-life costing
  • Optimised maintenance for critical assets
  • Data accuracy and audit readiness
  • Using AI as a decision-support tool
  • Upskilling teams to handle new tech and compliance

Clear priorities, solid data, and skilled teams will separate those who stay reactive from those who move ahead.
