A Commercial Building Management Company Is A Good Idea

By Eula Nichols


Owning or leasing a commercial property brings with it many headaches. The first decision that must be made will be how you plan on taking care of the physical plant. You can establish a department called facilities management, and you should. However, you will also need to have the personnel on staff to perform the tasks and understand the intricacies of each field. The most popular choice, to many, is the hiring of a commercial building management company to handle all of this.

Some of the antiquated equipment you may have inherited will be a confusing system for many. The professionals who are available will know the ins and outs of all systems and have access to parts others might not have. The older boilers, complete with many pipes and conduits running all over the plant or campus, will need the best knowledge and skills and those are available from these firms.

The plumbing systems may not be up to date and needs adjustments every once in a while. Just regular maintenance on these complicated systems need the attention of professionals who know what they are doing. Having a crew, always on hand, can become very expensive, especially when they are not kept busy.

Most of the work will have to be completed by licensed professionals. This is due to local, State or Federal laws and regulations. Maintaining a crew with all of these credentials is not as cost effective as you may think. An outside management firm will ensure lower costs and the work still getting done by professionals.

There are any number of issues that will come with the physical plant. The interstitial areas, walls, flooring, basements, roofing system as well as drainage and they all have eccentricities and standards. Making sure there are tradesmen available for each of these can be easily accomplished by using one of the management firms.

The normal cleaning and waste removal from the site is another consideration. Custodial companies are the best for this as they have the training and experience. They, just like all other specialists you will have to monitor, have their special tools and equipment. This firm will be involved in cleaning the offices, kitchens, break rooms and all other areas to maintain a healthy environment for your employees. Pressure washing and window cleaning is also part of these tasks.

Managing all of the many aspects of facility management can get rather cumbersome, especially if you are accepting this job for the first time. Having a larger building or an entire campus will also get in the way of a smooth transition for you. Hiring a company who does this work, everyday, will assist you in keeping everything under control.

The largest percentage of the outside commercial building management firms are involved, as their primary service, in one of the trades. This is usually plant maintenance or custodial services. They have a lot of expertise to perform and manage all areas and levels of services. Saving money for their clients is something they excel in and they like their work.
