Facilities management in South Africa is increasingly central to modern building operations, regulatory compliance, and operational resilience.

As property portfolios grow more complex and energy systems more digitised, facilities teams must balance statutory obligations, fire safety compliance, energy monitoring technologies, and connected building technologies within one coordinated strategy.

Facilities Management Expo 2026, taking place from 2 to 4 June at Gallagher Convention Centre, places facilities management in South Africa in focus. Co-located with Securex South Africa, A-OSH EXPO, Firexpo, and RE+ South Africa, the event reflects how modern smart infrastructure depends on collaboration across security, safety, energy, and facilities disciplines.

For facilities managers, property owners, and operations leaders, the expo provides practical solutions aligned to measurable building performance.
Smart buildings and operational efficiency

Digitally enabled facilities rely on real-time visibility and intelligent infrastructure. Facilities management teams are responsible for:

  • Energy monitoring and optimisation technologies.
  • Predictive maintenance technologies.
  • Indoor environmental quality monitoring.
  • Regulatory compliance reporting.
  • Fire safety compliance integration.
  • Asset lifecycle optimisation.

Facilities Management Expo allows professionals to compare connected building technologies side by side, evaluate digital monitoring platforms, and identify cost-reduction strategies that support both sustainability and compliance.

The free-to-attend Facilities Management Seminar Theatre will focus on regulatory compliance, energy efficiency, digital transformation, and risk management within commercial and industrial environments.
Exhibitor showcase

Facilities Management Expo 2026 will present a wide spectrum of solutions supporting facilities management and digitally enabled facilities, and integrated building performance.

Exhibitors will showcase energy optimisation technologies, digital monitoring platforms, compliance technologies, predictive maintenance tools, and connected infrastructure platforms designed to improve efficiency and strengthen regulatory compliance. The variety of technologies on display highlights how facilities management in South Africa is evolving into a strategic discipline that connects safety, energy, fire safety compliance, and operational optimisation.

Click Maint (Hall 4, Stand A05) will do demonstrations of its facilities maintenance management software, showing how to do maintenance requests on the web and Apps, work order management, parts and inventory management, asset and equipment management, QR code scanning, resource and labour management, reports, and KPIs.

Sanitech (Hall 4, Stand C08) will showcase its new, advanced scenting range, which delivers long-lasting freshness, together with its intelligent pest control device. Its Khusela units replace traditional pit toilets with safe, and dignified sanitation solutions.
Integrated performance under one roof

“Facilities management in South Africa has become a strategic discipline,” says Mark Anderson, Portfolio Director at Montgomery Group Africa. “Facilities teams must align energy performance monitoring, compliance requirements, and operational efficiency in increasingly complex environments. The co-located platform helps professionals see how connected building technologies strengthen resilience and performance.”

By bringing facilities management together with occupational safety, security, and fire protection, the event mirrors the operational realities of commercial property, manufacturing sites, and logistics facilities.

“Facilities Management Expo 2026 offers direct access to suppliers, technical specialists and compliance expertise that can be applied immediately. Visit the website at www.fmexpo.co.za to pre-register for free,” says Anderson.
