Annual CREMRU‐JCI survey of corporate real estate practices in Europe and North America: 1993‐2001

Rachael luck
The annual survey of corporate real estate practices has been conducted by CREMRU since 1993, and in collaboration with JCI since 1997. IDRC and NACORE, two leading professional associations concerned with corporate real estate have supported the survey. In 1999 IDRC endorsed the survey and opened it to a wider audience. This summary of the nine annual surveys focuses on the incidence of corporate real estate management (CREM) policies, functions and activities, as well as the assessment of knowledge or skills relevant to the CREM function in the future. Both are of vital interest to educational institutions concerned with this field, as well as the personnel and training functions within organisations concerned with better management of their property.
THE CRE TOOLBOX: ADDRESSING PERSISTENT ISSUES IN CORPORATE REAL ESTATE MANAGEMENT

Russell Kenley
While corporate real estate management (CREM) is an emergent applied management discipline it has had a sufficiently long history for some persistent issues to emerge, despite advances in practice and theory. Typically these coalesce around problems of being a 'trusted advisor,' a 'business partner,' or 'achieving a seat at the boardroom table'. A longitudinal analysis of key pieces of literature

Facilities management and corporate real estate management: FM/CREM or FREM?
Theo van der Voordt
Purpose This paper aims to explore similarities and dissimilarities between facilities management (FM) and corporate real estate management (CREM) regarding its history and key issues, and whether the similarities may result in a further integration of FM and CREM. Design/methodology/approach The paper is based on a review of FM and CREM literature, seven interviews with experienced academics and consultants and the long experience of the author as a researcher and teacher in accommodating people and activities. Findings Both FM and CREM aim to support primary business processes by aligning the physical resources of organisations to the organisational strategies in order to contribute to organisational performance and to add value to the organisation. Efficiently and effectively supporting the primary activities and business purposes are key issues. Dissimilarities consider the focus on facilities and services (FM) versus that on buildings and real-estate portfolios (CREM), as well ...
STRATEGIC CORPORATE REAL ESTATE MANAGEMENT RESEARCH AND TEACHING: DEFINING DIMENSIONS OF PRACTICE
Juan Torres
Strategic corporate real estate management (CREM) is an emerging property discipline with a concomitant evolution in its body of knowledge. There have been past attempts to define that body of knowledge, but much of the literature examines individual practices in isolation without locating them in a coherent, overarching theoretical framework suitable for strategic CREM. From a study of CRE and competitiveness, 179 defined practices were clustered into 11 clusters of similar practice types and linked within a framework that supported strategic approaches to the management of CRE. This framework and its defined practices describe a body of knowledge that became the basis of teaching CREM at the University of Melbourne. A final year undergraduate Facility Management subject has included aspects of CRE since 1999, and a standalone, postgraduate CRE subject was taught for the first time in 2006. This subject emphasises strategic and competitive practices in students' case study research.

Comparison of the Nature and Strategic features of Facilities Management and Other Building Support Practices in Lagos

This study examined the features of the Lagos-Nigerian Facilities Management (FM) practice and how strategic and value adding it is. This was achieved by comparing its principles, work focus and object amongst others, with that of four other traditional Building Support Service (BSS) practices. The research design was survey, carried out through self-administered questionnaires directed to a sample of 123 BSS providers that work with office buildings in Lagos metropolis. The data were analyzed using frequency counts, means, Chi square test and Wilcoxon sign rank test. The study revealed that the FM title is largely used only as a “catch phrase” by BSS providers, to enhance patronage. It further reveals that BSS providers that are addressed as facilities managers do not adopt FM principles in their practices. Also that the principles of property management was used predominantly amongst the respondents, while the main work focus of the maintenance manager was rated “most important”. ...
