Facilities Management Consulting services help you to identify current and future facility and grounds maintenance needs. We generate and communicate necessary information that can be used by volunteer groups within your organization, and we can also bring in proven experts to perform required maintenance or repairs.Additionally, our facility management consulting services can streamline the maintenance program in place at your facilities. One of the most advantageous aspects of these services is that our input and results can be used to expand your planning horizon out over several years–to anticipate and plan for large expenditures and to avoid crises and other critical budget needs. As with all of our services, we work with each client to set up a program and fee structure that works for your organization. Options, for example, can include:

• Per Project/Hourly Consulting: This service is best for those who need flexibility to have work done on demand, while not being locked into a maintenance contract.
• Monthly Management (flat monthly fee plus the cost of repairs performed): This service is great for large properties — clients needing a great deal of work or a lot of consulting on how to best execute work on their campus.
• Maintenance Planning: We build a Benchmark Report service to create a maintenance task checklist and/or cost projections for you to effectively manage your maintenance program — with or without our continued involvement.
• Project Management: We frequently evaluate building systems (e.g., roofs, mechanical equipment, paving, etc) and develop appropriate maintenance program(s) for presentation.
• We regularly create specifications for repair and replacement, conduct the competitive bidding process, and then administer and follow the work to ensure that it is done correctly.
