The operation of facilities by specialist companies is becoming increasingly popular with property owners, but the number of such transactions in Russia remains relatively low, due to the fact that Russian managers are used to controlling all the matters related to the operation of companies, as well as the lack of uniform standards for the registration of such relations, whereas in Europe in 95 cases out of 100 property owners do resort to operating contractors. In the Russian market, professional services for the operation of real estate facilities are offered by Engineering Company “2K” having extensive experience in ensuring uninterrupted operation of the utilities, maintaining temperature and humidity, replacing systems and structures as they wear out, and also maintaining the serviceability of load-bearing and enclosing structures. Effective operation is necessary when working with any real estate items. Addressing the issue professionally allows to significantly reduce maintenance costs of buildings and utilities, as well as to increase the safety level. A contractor with the necessary experience and technologies is able to ensure the construction of the engineering infrastructure to the highest standard. Modern managers are mostly professionals in the field of people and resource management. It is expedient to entrust the issues of maintenance and operation in this case to third-party consultants.
