My company, the affiliate of FM Manager Ltd. has been present in the Hungarian market as a construction engineering service provider for as many as twenty-seven years.

Having a look at the professional past, the Hungarian FM market has been under pressure recently. Many companies of Hungarian and foreign interest and ownership built facilities in Hungary. It entailed quickly-reacting professional training courses of the Hungarian FM market.

If looking back to the last sixty-seventy years in history, then we can see that Western European countries not on the socialist side enjoyed evident economic benefits as opposed to a lot of Central European countries.

In Hungary, the second World War and socialism caused huge damages for the society, politics and the economy.  Thus a lot of time passed until professional FM training courses.

FM area was non-existent and thus there were no professional complexity, systematic thinking, measurement and data collection and energy efficiency efforts.

Now FM training is experiencing a boom, and persons and companies to represent the profession substantially are regulated by several Acts and organisational proposals.

As regards the essence, it is important to note that we can always learn from professional organisations of the market, legal regulations and Decrees, the effects of which can be felt in economic, professional, political and environmental areas which a facility manager has to deal with.

Someone entering the FM area faces new processes which never end, so a good problem-solving skill is demanded.
