The lifecycle case, rebuilt as a code-native visual.
BYU’s public FPM overview says facilities and real estate can represent 20% to 40% of business assets, and that only 27% of life-cycle cost shows up in first construction cost.
Asset share
20% to 40%
of total assets can sit in facilities and real estate.
Leadership need
FPM
exists because most cost and coordination arrive after the ribbon cutting.

What students learn to hold together.
The official pages describe a field that lives between leadership, technical systems, real estate, vendors, and occupant needs. This visual turns that into a faster scan.
Asset goals
Owners need spaces to support mission, business value, and trust.
Money and contracts
Managers shape budgets, service agreements, and long-range decisions.
Building systems
Energy, safety, security, repairs, and technology all stay in motion.
People and experience
Occupants, technicians, vendors, and leaders all depend on clear coordination.
