Commercial properties require regular maintenance to ensure safety, functionality and curb appeal. And while specialized contractors are always needed, it’s helpful to have a dedicated commercial handyman for quickly addressing everyday repairs to keep your sites in top shape—all while creating efficiencies.
For companies with multiple sites, it can be challenging to ensure that facilities are managed efficiently, consistently and in compliance with organizational standards at all locations. That’s why it’s essential to have a facilities manual that serves as a site-level guide to these standards and offers facilities maintenance best practices and resources.
Repairing or changing locks may seem like a simple maintenance issue, but if your business needs frequent lock changes, managing it reactively can become a tedious chore that keeps your employees from focusing on more important business goals. This is where a proactive locksmith program can pay off.
As the facilities management industry moves forward, Chain Store Maintenance - an MCS Company, is learning and leading alongside our customers. During the past few months, we’ve attended multiple industry conferences and met with clients across the country, providing the opportunity to meet with facilities managers from a range of industries and hear from our peers. These are a few of the key industry trends, takeaways and insights our team is focused on following these conversations.
