Getting The Building Maintenance Ohio Commercial Properties Require

By Imelda Reid


Maintaining an entire crew of personnel to handle all of the many tasks involved in building maintenance can get rather expensive. All of those tasks must be performed, some of them on a daily, weekly, monthly or yearly basis only. Hiring a company that can provide the building maintenance Ohio business owners need can actually save money by not having to maintain this crew.

For the facility manager that has decided to take these tasks in hand and handle them within the company, a look at some of them will be appropriate. Lighting is critical for just about every endeavor. Replacing light bulbs is a constant problem as there are so many bulbs, in high and low fixtures. Some managers decide to bulb only once per year and leave the burned out ones alone until then.

Balancing the electrical needs for the plant might be problematic, especially if you have older facilities. Modern manufacturing will require massive electrical current and specialty processes may require even more. The monitoring of these elements of electrical service, as well as the normal replacement of fixtures, will require knowledgeable people with the experience needed for this.

All of the work that becomes necessary on an almost daily basis must be handled through these professionals. Licensed electricians and plumbers will have to be on hand. Personnel to repair breaks or damages in walls and or ceilings are also needed. All of this work must be coordinated through a qualified, competent contractor that can schedule the various trades.

Other areas, such as lawn maintenance, will have to be dealt with. Hiring a fully experienced crew may not be the best idea given the seasonal aspects of this maintenance. Lawns, appropriate pruning, leaves and debris clean up as well as new plantings and proper designs of all of this can be complicated. The management of a consistent approach to the buildings and grounds can be beyond the skill set of a process engineer who is often assigned to the position of facility manager.

A very important element of a good first impression for your visitors is the cleanliness of the facility. The custodial work that is accomplished each night is the heart and soul of a healthy building. Trash, recyclables as well as cleaning kitchens, restrooms, offices, conference rooms and the production areas are necessary each night.

Many companies can be called upon to handle all of these many tasks and activities for you. They will be able to have the licensed personnel on hand when they are necessary and the cleaners that are depended on for a lot of the observations for problems. The supervisors act as contractors for the coordination of everything being done and issue free work is done every day.

A company that can handle all of this can be found with a few conversations with industry associates. The ones that work the best are those that are already doing the same things at another site in the same industry. The training, licensing and code adherence is required for these personnel and the peace of mind you and your facility manager gains is helpful.
