SFG20: extracting maximum value from the UK's maintenance gold standard
Carlo Alloni of Bellrock argues that SFG20 should be a foundational pillar of service delivery, not merely a compliance checkbox. After 30+ years as the backbone of planned preventive maintenance, the standard still offers untapped potential for estates teams managing complex portfolios.
FM Radar's 3 takeaways:
- SFG20 has served as the undisputed backbone of UK planned preventive maintenance for over 30 years
- Commitment to the standard must be foundational — a contractual certainty, not a box-ticking exercise
- Complex portfolios benefit most when SFG20 is treated as a living framework, not a static reference
