Sharper thinking on facility performance.

Most property managers run between five and eight vendors per asset. Janitorial, day porter, landscape, pressure washing, paint, drywall, window cleaning, and a handyman on call. Each one ships an invoice, a COI, and a separate set of expectations.

The visible cost is the line item. The hidden cost is the coordination — the hour you spend chasing a missed clean, the second visit a different vendor charges to fix the first one's damage, the gap nobody owns when something falls between scopes.

When you consolidate to one accountable vendor, three things shift: scheduling gets sharper because the routes share a manager, scope gaps disappear because the same crew owns the whole site, and your AP team processes one invoice instead of seven. The line item rarely drops 30%. The total cost almost always does.

Turn season is the part of the year multi-family operators dread — not because the work is hard, but because the surprises are expensive. Scope creep on a single unit can double its cost. Run that across 80 units and you're explaining a variance you didn't plan for.

The fix isn't a bigger crew. It's a sharper scope. Before keys come back, walk each unit with a single checklist: paint touch-up vs. full repaint, drywall patch count, floor refresh vs. replacement, appliance status, and turn-by date. Photograph everything. Price it before the work starts, not after.

When the scope is written down, the crew prices off the same sheet you signed. No after-the-fact adds. No 'while we were in there' line items. Turns ship on time, AP processes a number you expected, and next year you have a real benchmark instead of a guess.
