The operating costs of an average building makes approximately 80 % of all the expenses during its life cycle. In the view of significant volume and time growth of the building fund and consequently the amount of its overall expenses, the question of the economic sustainability of buildings usage and care is becoming more and more relevant. It is necessary to pay attention to it as early as throughout the preparation and realisation of each new building or extensive reconstruction of existing building. Particularly in case of large buildings, a facility management expert should be the member of the project team. He/she should supervise the optimisation of arrangement of buildings from the view of the financial and technical requirements of the forthcoming operations. This asks for a fundamental change of well-established process, namely, of the building's project preparation. This paper focuses on the assessment of the facility or property manager's position during the building design and realisation phases, his/her cooperation with an architect and his/her contribution for the project team, the investor and even for the future users and managers.
