Nurije Dega

Business Engineer Technical Facility Management

Actively exploiting constant change and anticipating and implementing specific customer requirements in the best possible way: In Nurije Dega's view, these are the greatest challenges of future-oriented facility management. She has been responsible for technical facility management at Honegger since June 1, 2021.

Loosely based on the US economist Peter Drucker, her motto is: «The greatest danger in times of change is not the change itself, it is acting with yesterday's logic». She sees the introduction of uniform standards throughout Switzerland and consistent compliance with them as groundbreaking for the facility management of the future at Honegger. What is important to her is that «we accept challenges and work together to overcome them».

Nurije Dega holds a Bachelor of Science in Facility Management (GEFMA) and is currently completing her Master of Engineering in Industrial Engineering and Management. She brings a broad knowledge in planning and implementation of integral facility management as well as specific experience in technical operational maintenance.

The motivated communicator consistently scores with a customer- and solution-oriented approach. «It motivates me to design customized concepts around the management of a property. Cost efficiency and optimal operational maintenance throughout the entire life cycle are always in the foreground for me.»

Karen himmerich

Project Manager IFM

Karen Himmerich has been working as an Integrated Building Management Expert at Honegger since September 2022. She has a real passion for her profession, which she has learned from the ground up, and not only is she a qualified real estate agent and architectural draughtswoman, but she also has a Bachelor of Engineering in construction and real estate management. «I practically grew up with facility management», she says, summarising her career.

To Karen Himmerich, it is always important to keep a broad focus and make sure no elements are overlooked. “We don’t work in individual, isolated disciplines – it is very important to keep an eye on the bigger picture as well.» At the same time, her main focus always remains on the people: «We must never forget what building maintenance is for: the people who live in the building or frequent it. This is why all our considerations are centred on the users and their individual needs, while keeping an eye on costs and on preserving the value of the building.»

Karen Himmerich sees great potential in a process of continuously optimising operational facility management. After all: «The bulk of the costs in real estate are not incurred during construction, but in the usage phase. This is why there is enormous potential in improving the existing operational functions in a solution-oriented manner, while reducing costs and keeping the property modern and functional in equal measure.»

Julien andré

FM Project Manager for Western Switzerland

This Facility Management specialist focuses on one thing in particular: identifying potential synergies and taking advantage of them. What this means in practice is comprehensively incorporating all parties involved into the various phases of development and implementation of an FM project, and doing so at the earliest stage possible. Objectives can be achieved in good time and on schedule, and optimisation solutions can be evaluated.

‘The goal is to achieve the best and most efficient possible performance of buildings, systems and installations over their entire life cycle.’ This is one of the most important approaches in modern building management for this trained Head of Facility Management.

To Julien André problems only exist because there are ways of solving them. These solutions are the driving force that motivates him – and this, in combination with his comprehensive technical knowledge, is what allows new and effective possibilities to be established.

Julien André is a graduate Head of Facility Management (Swissmeme), maintenance expert (ESG) and Head of Technical Building Management (USPI).

Urs salzmann

Transition Project Manager

Urs Salzmann has been working as Transition Project Manager at Honegger since September 2022. The interdisciplinary challenges posed by his tasks never fail to rekindle his professional passion: «Every time I think I have seen just about every possible case you could encounter in terms of the infrastructural, technical and business disciplines of facility management, something new pops up. I really like that.»

And so do the people to whom Urs Salzmann pays special attention in his work. «People can be easily unsettled by new things. Therefore we have to actively integrate everyone who is involved in the change process as quickly as possible and address their expectations and views with an open attitude.» It is also a high priority for him to find solutions for the shortage of interdisciplinary specialists who are interested. «It is very difficult right now to find well-trained professionals with comprehensive understanding of all aspects. Basic training programmes need to be completely redesigned to reflect the fact that digitalisation is developing at an extremely rapid pace and bringing fields like building services right along with it.»

Urs Salzmann is a qualified business maintenance specialist and has a post-graduate degree in business administration. «I am a generalist and have always been active in the three classic disciplines of facility management: infrastructure, technology and business. I have also built-up considerable experience as an asset manager and client representative, and I have a good understanding of the various requirements – for everything from data processing centres to sports facilities.»
