1. The exterior quality of your commercial property is the most important component to its success. An aesthetically appealing, well-maintained property invites customers and keeps them coming back. Therefore, regular pressure washing services, street sweeping, and porter services are vital. Who wants to shop at a rundown property littered with trash, covered with gum and bird droppings, and frequented by pests? Partnering with an efficient facility maintenance company like ProFi Construction and Maintenance ensures that these details are paid consistent attention. Additionally, our professional handymen will have eyes on your commercial property daily taking a preventative approach to costly repairs.

2. Safety audits are crucial and should be completed frequently to avoid injuries or auto-damage. While property managers should do a full inspection weekly for things like potholes, faulty parking stops, or fallen debris, handymen can provide these inspections daily. Our commercial handymen at ProFi will have these issues repaired same day to guarantee the safety and satisfaction of all customers and employees.

3. Although regular pressure washing aids in maintaining the look of your commercial building, a new coat of paint is sometimes necessary. Freshening up your commercial property’s exterior can add value to the property itself and even attract new customers and tenants. Additionally, the paint serves as a protective layer against harsh South Florida elements that can quickly erode your building’s exterior.

4. When paint and regular maintenance services aren’t enough, it may be time to consider some minor reconstruction. A new tenant build-out or even modifications to your existing structure does not need to be the costly, time-consuming headache you’re imagining. ProFi Construction and Maintenance will work with your budget and schedule to provide your property with the fresh looks it needs to boost employee morale and drive business.

5. Our final tip involves evaluating the effectiveness of your current contractors and making changes where necessary. Relationships aside, if your commercial property is not running at peak efficiency and the exterior is not as inviting as it could be, it may be time to change your facility maintenance partner. ProFi Construction and Maintenance believes you deserve a team that exceeds your maintenance expectations and advances the property’s success. Contact our facility maintenance company today to learn more on how we can help your commercial property reach its maximum potential.

1.     Set clear goals. The first step in planning your office renovation is clearly outlining your goals on paper. Writing them down leaves no room for confusion. If you know what your desired outcome is prior to beginning construction, you will save yourself time and money. It may also be in your best interest to seek the opinions of those who utilize the workspace on a daily basis and incorporate their ideas into the plans. This will make certain everyone is happy with the finished product.

2.     Hire the right team. It’s important that you do your due diligence when selecting the contractor for your office renovation. Do not simply hire the team that gives you the lowest bid because you may get what you paid for. We advise you meet with several contractors, relay your goals, get feedback, and even request pictures of renovations they’ve completed in the past. It never hurts to ask for references! Our prior tenant renovations at ProFi have included banks, physician offices, warehouses, gyms, office parks, and shopping centers. You can find before and after pictures throughout our site.

3.     Set a schedule. After selecting your team, work with them to create a realistic schedule that will accommodate your business operations. Most importantly, we advise that you allow room for flexibility. Once a preliminary schedule is set, share this with your employees so that they can plan accordingly and feel included in the process.

4.     Establish budget contingencies. When setting your budget, anticipate additional costs. No contractor can guarantee that issues won’t arise throughout the renovation process, and so it is in your best interest to prepare for these unforeseen costs. We recommend setting aside a 10 percent contingency that will allow you and your team some breathing room. The last thing you want is a final bill you’re unprepared to pay.

5.     Keep open communication throughout the entire process. The most crucial ingredient to a successful and smooth office renovation is open communication. We are always transparent with our clients about the renovation process, including any hiccups throughout. We suggest you communicate often with your contractor, as well as your employees, to ensure the operation is running efficiently and that all parties are satisfied.

Is your office space due for an upgrade? Well, in addition to providing commercial facility maintenance services, we are also licensed general contractors equipped to meet all your renovation needs. We ensure the smoothest renovation possible with minimal disruption to your everyday business, as we always take your operational needs into consideration first and foremost. Whether the changes you desire are large in scale or minor, look no further than ProFi Construction & Maintenance. We are ready to provide you with the efficient and well-designed workspace you’ve been waiting for!

1. The scope of work needs to be clearly outlined. Your facility maintenance company should know exactly what they’re responsible for, on which days they’re providing service, as well as the times best suited for your hours of operation. In addition to outlining the details of service, your expectations of the final result, or how your property should look, may also be included.

2. Payment terms are obviously something to be aware of before signing any contract agreement. This includes rates of service and when the facility maintenance company should expect payment. However, you must also consider who’s covering the cost of materials. Maybe you’re expecting to split the cost of materials but your contract outlines that you’re fully responsible. Now you’re looking at a job that is way outside what you originally budgeted for. Always look for the quantities of materials listed and the breakdown of the cost to avoid surprises. 

3. Outlined in your maintenance contract should also be a clear understanding of who’s liable for what. In the event of an accident, you need to know which party’s insurance will cover the injury. You can request a certificate of insurance to be certain the facility maintenance company has general liability insurance. Otherwise, you may be responsible if their worker is injured on the job.

4. Lastly, we recommend that you include a blueprint for conflict resolution. While we never expect conflicts to occur, they do happen on occasion and it’s best to be prepared. We want conflicts to be resolved as quickly and smoothly as possible, in order to maintain a professional relationship. Building an element of flexibility into your contract to anticipate changes in the scope of business or cost may prevent certain conflicts altogether.

ProFi Construction & Maintenance knows that you have options! When choosing us for your facility maintenance or commercial handyman service needs, we ensure complete transparency throughout the entire partnership. We pride ourselves on the strong relationships we’ve built over the years, and they’re a direct result of our quality of service and professional integrity.
