What A Commercial Building Management Company Can Do For You

By Marcie Goodman


All commercial buildings need to have many various services performed internally and for the exterior in order for them to function properly. These services will include cleaning and maintenance on any number of systems. A commercial building management service or crew is necessary, whether this is operated by a department of the firm or outsourced to a company specializing in this.

Monitoring and maintenance of the heating and cooling systems will be part of this list of chores. An entire campus makes this job even more complicated. Everything on that site, regardless of what condition it is in when they take over is their responsibility. The knowledge they need to have about is all should be encyclopedic.

Most facility managers find out real quick that licensed electricians are required, by regulation, to do all but the most minor electrical work. This includes changing ballasts in the light fixtures to rewiring equipment or perform minor line maintenance. This means they must have an electrician on call or on staff at most times during operation.

Sanitary requirements will be such that licensed plumbers will need to be involved for these specialties. Not every facility has one of these professionals on staff, however, they are necessary in many industries. Giving one a call when there is an emergency might not get the attention as quickly as it is needed. Not keeping one handy will make for an out of control situation.

The many different situations that occur will need careful planning as many areas have union rules that do not allow certain trades to be in the same place, together. Electricians and plumbers will need to work on many of the boiler arraignments. Roofers will need to arrive at the right time to prevent problems with roofing or drainage systems. Construction, whether repairing or adding on, will have a host of trades and experts moving throughout the spaces.

Some of the tasks that must be accounted for is the custodial work. These intrepid night workers are all over the plant and campus and often act as eyes and ears of the facility management crew. The cleaning, pressure washing as well as the window servicing is all scheduled to happen at certain times and events or weather often disrupt carefully laid plans.

A management company is in the best position to handle all of these tasks. They have the personnel licensed and ready for anything that comes up. They will be the contact point for all subcontractors and stand ready to fill in for any absences. The management of such firms have contractors licenses and have the experience to know the scheduling priorities, based on your special needs.

A lengthy list of tasks and skills sets awaits any new facility manager. It is in their best interests to make it as easy on themselves as possible and still get all of the work done in a safe and timely way. A commercial building management firm will have all of the knowledge in place and all personnel ready to step in and perform any tasks needed. The flexibility you gain from this arraignment will save time, money and reputations.
