About DMFM
Dymond McBain Facilities Management (DMFM) specialises in managing residential and commercial buildings and facilities.
Using our extensive background in building management, and in the hotel and hospitality industry, we are uniquely qualified to handle facilities management Auckland-wide.
With the right approach and management team in place, we believe the reputation, operating performance and value of your building and its facilities can be significantly enhanced.
Our Story
Established in 2012, DMFM was created to fill a need in the market for a more professional approach to building and facilities management.
In addition to our experience and expertise in facilities management and business, we believe in building strong, long-term relationships with owners, body corporates and suppliers. We value working together to enhance the reputation and operating performance of our buildings.
Starting with managing the facilities of high-end apartment complexes, we found that our experience and skill set translates exceptionally well to other types of properties. DMFM now looks after the facilities and building infrastructure of commercial properties and shopping centres, in addition to our portfolio of high-end residential buildings.
We work in partnership with those who complement our skill set and are professionals and specialists in their own right. This allows us to cost-effectively tailor-make solutions for individual buildings as needed.
We aim to be the preferred manager of quality properties in Auckland and to create a warm sense of place for those who live and work in the buildings we manage.
