What A Commercial Building Management Company Can Do For You

By Marcie Goodman


The many tasks that any facility manager has will keep them busy. Electrical, plumbing, buildings and grounds as well as roofs, parking lots and walls, floors and basements are just the beginning of their duties. Many companies do have a person in charge of this and are backed up by many others. Some will hire a commercial building management company to deal with all of the many things that have be taken care of.

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.

In most states in the United States, licensed electricians will be required to make even the most minor electrical adjustments. This will include replacing light bulbs and any rewiring efforts. This electrician will have to be on staff or a qualified person on call in order to handle the many changes made in any modern manufacturing facility.

Plumbing is another area that must have experience and licensed individuals working for the good of the building. This is brought into sharp focus when sanitary conditions are part of the business model. Getting the attention that may be needed, in an emergency, is not as easy as many make it sound. Without having qualified personnel on hand, these emergencies can get out of control very quickly.

Scheduling is a big issue when it comes to multiple systems needing work all at one time. Keeping everything and everyone lined up in the correct direction will keep anyone busy. Plumbers and electricians for the heating system and roofers for the roof and down spouts. Construction contracting firms for additions to the facilities and the inspectors for everything is a big list to keep.

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.

An outside management company is the best choice for this work. They will have all of the professionals, properly credentialed, and ready to work when they are needed. This arraignment allows the experts in their field to make informed suggestions about schedules and alternative processes. This is because they do stay up to date on technologies, some of which impact your industry.

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.
