The problem this removes

The average multi-site operator in Central Ohio manages a dozen trade vendors with a dozen invoice formats, no shared work-order history, and no single point of accountability for the whole building. Deferred maintenance compounds quietly until it becomes a capital emergency. Integrated Facilities Maintenance replaces that patchwork with a single agreement: scheduled preventive maintenance that protects your assets, a dispatch channel your site managers can actually reach, and reporting that turns maintenance from a black box into a managed budget line.

Program structure

Every agreement is built from four blocks.

Planned maintenance. Scheduled inspections and preventive service per asset class, calendared for the year in advance, so equipment life is extended and surprises are minimized.

Reactive repairs. Work-order intake by phone, email, or portal, with response commitments by priority level and not-to-exceed thresholds you set, so small fixes never wait on approvals and big ones never surprise you.

Emergency response. A real escalation path for water intrusion, storm damage, and building-critical failures, with stabilization first and documentation throughout. See our Commercial Emergency Response service for the dedicated protocol.

Projects and capital support. When repairs become replacements, you already have a partner who knows the building, with facility condition assessments and capital planning support to get ahead of next year’s budget cycle.

Capability at a glance

What we self-perform, and how we disclose the rest

We self-perform general repairs, handyman-scope work, cleaning programs, water management, and exterior maintenance, and we coordinate licensed specialty trades (electrical, HVAC, plumbing) through qualified partners under our supervision, disclosed plainly in every scope. You get one point of accountability either way, and the capability table above shows exactly where each part of your program is delivered directly versus coordinated, so there is no ambiguity about who is doing the work behind our single point of contact.

Response commitments are set jointly during onboarding: a priority level (emergency, urgent, routine) is assigned to each work-order type, with a corresponding response-time target and a not-to-exceed dollar threshold below which our team proceeds without waiting on a separate approval. This structure is what lets a facilities director hand off day-to-day maintenance decisions with confidence, because the boundaries of authority are agreed in writing before the program starts, not improvised call by call.

Reporting your leadership will actually read

Work-order logs with photos, before-and-after documentation, response-time performance against your agreed commitments, spend by site and by trade, and a periodic review that flags emerging problems before they become emergencies. A sample report is available on request.

Who this fits

Retail and multi-site operators, offices and medical offices, warehouses and light industrial facilities, property managers and HOAs, and owners who are tired of being their own general contractor across multiple vendors. This program is built to scale from a single building to a regional portfolio without changing the underlying structure, which matters if your footprint is expected to grow; the same reporting standard and response commitments apply whether you’re managing one property or twenty.

Why one accountable partner matters more than one cheap vendor

The economics of facility maintenance rarely reward the lowest bid over time. A vendor who wins on price but misses response commitments, under-documents work, or can’t self-perform enough trades to avoid constant subcontracting ends up costing more in downtime, tenant complaints, and deferred maintenance that becomes a capital emergency. Integrated Facilities Maintenance is priced to reflect a genuinely different model: fewer handoffs, more self-performed work, and a reporting standard your leadership can act on, not just file away.

Engagement path

1. 30-minute walkthrough call. We learn your portfolio, current pain points, and what “good” looks like for your team.
2. Site or portfolio assessment. Our team evaluates your properties and current maintenance condition.
3. Program proposal. You get a clear pricing structure and response commitments tailored to your portfolio.
4. Onboarding. A structured onboarding period establishes baseline documentation of every site before the program goes live.

You can start with a single-site pilot if you want to test the program before expanding it across a portfolio; most partners expand after seeing the first reporting cycle.
