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.

The many systems that any building uses runs the gambit from heating and cooling to the physical plant itself. This is made more complicated if the company has an entire campus to deal with. Landscaping, parking lot maintenance, outdoor break areas and statuary as well as tank farms or gas pads will make for very busy days on extremely good ones.

Local or state codes will require licensed electricians to be involved in most electrical work. This will include the minor need for a new light bulb, ballasts or rewiring of equipment. This can get dicey if it is done by someone without the appropriate experience and many have learned the hard way. Getting part of the plant or facility shut down by not following industrial standards will also cost time and money.

Plumbers are another specialty that simply must be available quickly. The many systems that require their attention are too numerous to mention, however, the absence of a licensed plumber will make a bad situation worse. Being able to call on a good one will help, however, having someone that knows the plant is a better option.

Both the electricians and the plumbers will have to be on hand when problems occur because of a heating or air conditioning issue. Roofing personnel will also have to be on hand when damage happens to the many roofs and intricate roof drainage problems happen. Facilities contractors will need to be handy when issues dealing with the soundness of the structure is under consideration as well as any additions that are to be made.

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.

There are a lot of things that any facility manager needs to know about. Many of these management personnel do not have all of this knowledge. That is why a professional commercial building management company is an absolutely necessary expense for any company wishing to stay ahead of all issues that may impact operational or safety concerns.
