Higher Education Facilities Management Association of Southern Africa Higher Education Facilities Management Association of Southern AfricaThe Higher Education Facility Management Association of Southern Africa has developed from TIMCON: The Tertiary Institutes Maintenance Conference, which was established to serve as an annual forum for the mutual discussion and education of Maintenance and Facility Managers at the higher education institutions in South Africa.
The need to develop this institution to a more permanent association for the benefit of the Facility Managers of the higher education institutions of the Southern African countries lead to the establishment of HEFMA in 2000.
The year 2005 saw the inaugural HEFMA 2004 Benchmarking Report. This report is the culmination of a significant team effort between HEFMA and TEFMA (the Tertiary Education Facilities Management Association from Australasia). Our TEFMA colleagues truly went the extra mile to make this report possible. These reports concentrated on the total operational costs of buildings by benchmarking five operational areas, namely building maintenance, grounds maintenance, cleaning and waste management, energy and security.
