Benefits of Updating Your Capital Replacement Plan   

Developing a solid "plan" is your first step toward success. Keeping your information updated is the next step. How do you make sure your future budget projections are accurate? Learn why it pays to keep your data current and how periodic reviews of your facilities can save you time and money.

 

It's Time For Your Spring Perimeter Check   

At least twice a year, you should conduct a Perimeter Check to prevent potential problems. Learn what to look for and how to coordinate yours with our illustrations and quick tips. 

 

"SEE" How Thermal Imaging Helped Owner Evaluate Construction    


How do you make sure facilities are built correctly prior to making the final payment to the contractor? Here's a unique example where an Owner asked us to use our thermographic equipment to evaluate their new facilities. 

Waterproofing Quiz & Benefits of Elastomeric Paint 

Water penetration is a building's worst enemy. Take our quick waterproofing quiz to see if you have signs of damage and learn how elastomeric paint prevents water penetration, eliminates cracks and offers a durable line of defense for exterior finishes. 

Facility Management Self-Assessment Tool

for Executives  

Are you maximizing the efficiency of your facilities and taking advantage of all cost-saving opportunities? To find out, use our Facility Management Performance Self-Assessment Tool. The assessment takes approximately 10 minutes to complete and presents you with a helpful checklist to stimulate conversation and action within your own organization and management teams.
