Benchmarking Resources
For over three decades TEFMA has encouraged its members to submit and share comparative cost and performance data for a range of facilities management services. The annual benchmark survey has become one of the FM industry's most recognised and respected examples of collaborative benchmarking, with more than 85% of member institutions submitting returns.
Useful TEFMA benchmarking information for participating members is available below:
The 2022 Benchmark Report is now available for download. Please note this is only available to survey participants only.
You can access the report through the Online Reporting Tool here>>.
Please note each institution has their own password for this site. If you require your Institution's login details, please email the TEFMA Secretariat at info@tefma.com.
