The mission of facilities planning and management is to provide effective planning, design and management oversight for all custodial and construction projects of an organization or business. This group of professional men and women essentially oversee the long-range master plan for any corporate environment; and to plan for the future growth of the corporation or business it serves.

The facilities planning and management professional functions as the communications and data collection officer for complaints, repair requests, special events, and emergencies related to organization that it serves. All requests/complaints are dealt with through the facility's maintenance management computer/work control system and dispatched to the appropriate shop within facilities planning and management.

This group is also responsible for the custodial services for the buildings and spaces of the organization and other areas under its control. Custodial services might include everything from basic housekeeping to changing fluorescent and incandescent light bulbs.
