gestion immobilière
The English phrase building management is translated into French as gestion immobilière.
gestion immobilière is often used to refer to the professional sector or the business of property management rather than the physical act of managing a single specific building.
What does it mean word for word?
The term is composed of gestion (management) and immobilière (real estate/property-related).
Which one should you use?
