LIST OF SERVICES:
1. Landlords/Building
Managers:
Landlords and building managers spend countless hours a week just dealing
with leases, billing, filing, accounting, court appearances, etc. without
the added burden of maintaining their properties. On-site building managers
are probably the best method of controlling your maintenance costs, but they
are an expensive solution. The salary and benefits that an experienced manager
demands should be weighed against their actual need on a daily basis. Many
large corporations are now using consultants and contractors to do the work
previously performed by in-house employees. The reasoning behind it is that
you are only paying for their services when they are actually needed, therefore
reducing your fixed annual operating costs. We offer many services that relate
to the real estate industry including building operation, employee training,
systems troubleshooting, oral and written reports of equipment, energy
conservation planning, renovation and equipment upgrade consulting, insurance
damage claims and related services. Please take a minute to scroll down the
page and read any articles you feel we may be able to help you with.
2. Renovation
Consulting:
Many older buildings are presently being upgraded due to the increase in
basic rent allowed under the MCI (Major Capital Improvement) program.
Coordinating the different contractors and their workers can be a full-time
job in itself and frequently requires devotion of a large part of your day.
We offer renovation management services to relieve you of this burden and
only bill you for the actual hours worked.
3. Maintenance
and Repair Consulting:
Maintaining building systems can become a costly part of your monthly expenses
as the building ages. Knowing exactly what the specific problem is can save
thousands of dollars in wasted time and unnecessary repairs. We offer written
and oral reports on individual building systems that highlight problem areas
found and cost effective solutions. Maintenance training of your employees
can increase the life of your equipment and this is another service we offer
to owners/building managers.
4. Insurance Damage
Claims:
Damage to your property due to fire, water, storm, utility failure, etc.
requires quick coordination of insurance adjusters, contractors, employees
and public adjusters to ensure minimal loss of income. We can respond immediately
to your case and our fee can come from the insurance check after the claim
is settled.
5. Energy
Conservation:
Building operating costs depend largely on the efficient use of your existing
equipment and fixtures. For example, a simple replacement of older general
lighting fixtures with modern efficient units can immediately start to repay
their cost and eventually save utility costs on a monthly basis. The larger
the property, the greater the overall savings. Adjustment of building controls
for various systems are another example of cost effective planning we offer.
A written review of your individual building systems with recommendations
are a service we provide to owners/building managers.
