What types of facility services does TotalFacility provide?

TotalFacility offers single-source facilities management services, including repair and maintenance, remodeling, retrofits, and project roll-outs to large, multi-location property owners. With the professional team at TotalFacility and our time-tested process, there are no more worries about controlling the facilities budget or finding the right service contractors, managing schedules and costs, and processing invoices.

 

Do you also serve small to medium-sized organizations?

Definitely. If your company's operations require a professional facility manager and your facility's annual spend is less than $200,000, TotalFacility provides its unique, web-based OnDemand FM(sm) service. OnDemand FM enables you to benefit from the same single-source facility management services as large, multi-location organizations at a fraction of the cost of an internal team or a permanent hire. Our fully customizable program will reduce your operating costs while maintaining your facilities in optimum condition.

 

How extensive is TotalFacility's geographical coverage?

Our network of more than 30,000 professional contractors in 85 trades serves more than 50,000 diverse locations throughout the United States and Canada.

 

How can TotalFacility reduce my costs?

TotalFacility reduces your costs through demand aggregation, vendor consolidation, competitive bidding, a national materials sourcing program, and streamlining of work orders and payment processing. Furthermore, our information management tools allow you to manage your budget through convenient access to the service history of your facilities and the associated costs, from labor rates to SKU level material costs.

 

How does TotalFacility prequalify the contractors in its network?

TotalFacility's contractor pre-qualification process includes an in-depth review of each contractor's capabilities, licenses, rates, and insurance coverage, and references.

 

How does TotalFacility monitor the quality of its service provider's work?

TotalFacility's independent Quality Assurance department reviews every project to ensure proper completion. We use dynamic scorecards to rate each contractor's performance based on response time, quality of service, professionalism, cost-effectiveness, and timely submission of required paperwork. We also obtain feedback from the client location manager.

 

Are you available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week?

Yes. Our call center and project managers are available to respond to any facility service need on a 24/7 basis, 365 days a year. We are ready for anything with emergency after-hours service.
