LEADERSHIP & FOUNDER
Built Through Experience, Not Acquisition
Facility Pro Group was built from the ground up through hands-on operational experience, long-term client relationships and a commitment to accountable facility service delivery across Melbourne.
FOUNDER PROFILE
Chris Balas
Founder & Managing Director
A hands-on operator and business owner focused on building reliable commercial service programs through structure, communication, accountability and long-term client trust.
THE STORY
From direct service delivery to a structured facility platform.
Chris Balas began building Envy Cleaning Solutions with a clear objective: deliver consistent commercial cleaning standards, communicate properly with clients and build long-term relationships through reliability and accountability.
Over the years, that foundation expanded into broader facility support across corporate offices, industrial facilities, logistics centres, healthcare environments, education sites and large-scale warehouse operations.
Facility Pro Group was established to represent that evolution — a more structured platform for organisations that need commercial cleaning, specialist project work and facility support from one accountable partner.

WHY FACILITY PRO GROUP EXISTS
More than a cleaning contractor.
Facility Pro Group was established to move beyond traditional cleaning contractor models by combining operational cleaning services, facility support programs, project works coordination and asset presentation solutions under one service structure.
This allows clients to work with one accountable partner across multiple facility requirements, reducing complexity while improving consistency, communication and service control.
“Our objective has never been to become the biggest company in the market. Our objective is to become one of the most trusted.”
