Abstract: The quest for organizations to concentrate on their core responsible while certain ancillary services remain outsourced or to some extent remains in-house has been on over the years; Nevertheless, most research on FM has concentrated on outsourced highlighting their advantages over in-house. However, this work is sort to strike a balance between the subject matter in FM services and as well employed survey in seeking opinion of people on the subject matter. The findings indicated that neither outsourcing nor in-house FM services performed badly as respondents were almost affirmative the respective ratings and expression of their views on both ways of FM services. Outsourcing and in-house FM services can both perform well and will perform optimally depending on the handlers.
