CERTIFIED BUILDING SERVICE EXECUTIVE | REGISTERED BUILDING SERVICE MANAGER

What does a CBSE/RBSM mean to you?

The Certified Building Service Executive/Registered Building Service Manager is an expert in the management of contract cleaning.  He or she is a professional executive with demonstrated knowledge and skill widely recognized in the building service industry—the same knowledge and skill that can assure you a properly maintained building.

For the CBSE/RBSM, state-of-the-art cleaning technology is the key to maintaining your building at peak level of appearance and cleanliness.  And yet, an understanding of cle4aning technology is just one facet of their credentials.  The CBSE is an executive with broad business and management expertise—an executive who ensures that you building’s maintenance needs are met smoothly and cost effectively.  In short, placing your building in the hands of a CBSE means having the technical cleaning knowledge and executive experience you expect.

To achieve the CBSE/RBSM designation, building service contractors must participate in a Certification Program, which requires the successful completion of a rigorous, full day examination.  Additionally, they must document their experience and tenure as a build service executive.  A minimum of five years in the industry and three years in a executive policy-making position is mandatory for consideration of the CBSE designation.  In order to maintain their designation, DBSE’s and RBSM’s must participate in ongoing educational activities.  These activities keep them apprised of the latest industry developments with respect to management techniques, financial and strategic planning, risk management, and legal issues.  The Certification./Registration Program is administered by the Building Service Contractors Association International (BSCAI), a non-profit organization which is dedicated to furthering the professionalism of the industry and whose membership is comprised of building service companies worldwide.

CBSE’s are professional executives who actively seek to further the image of the building service industry.  These executives strive to provide your building with well-trained cleaning personnel , and to use effective techniques for estimating your building’s supplies and labor needs.  RBSM’s are professional managers of cleaning services, knowledgeable in workloading, managing and supervising cleaning operations.  Both CBSE’s and RBSM’s adhere to the BSCAI Code of Ethics, which advocates professionalism and fair business practice among cleaning companies.
