The Facilties Management Division of the Bureau of Standards is a newly created entity at the Bureau as a direct consequence of its restructuring. Its mandate is as its name implies, the proper management of the facilities of the Bureau of standards. This includes buildings, equipment, grounds, motor vehicles and the security of all these.

The division is headed by the Facilities Manager, and staffed with a cadre of persons ranging from engineers, technicians, tradesmen, drivers and casual labourers supported by secretarial and clerical assistants.

The division has basically three components:

1. General Maintenance
2. Electro-mechanical maintenance
3. External contracting (This aspect deals with our external contractors be it janitorial or security services as well as any external contractors engaged to perform work on behalf of the Bureau)

Our mandate demands that we ensure as best as possible, that all aspects of the Bureau's operations are conducted with minimum of dislocation due to inadequate facilities. That the environment in which our co-workers exist is conducive to efficient operations.
