Facility Management
Services

Commercial facilities management covers all of the services needed to keep buildings safe, efficient and fully operational. It includes HVAC, plumbing, electrical, mechanical and structural maintenance; cleaning and sanitation; landscaping and grounds care; security, access control and surveillance; space planning and moves; safety compliance and emergency readiness; and utility management for energy, water, waste and sustainability. Many programs also provide food service, catering, painting, carpentry, smart building technology, project management, vendor oversight and budgeting. Depending on the facility needs, these services can even include transportation, mailroom and other specialized support for a complete, cost‑effective facilities management solution for any organization.

Whether handled internally or through specialized providers like TDIndustries, effective facilities management ensures asset reliability, code compliance, occupant comfort and long-term value.

Facilities management supervisory services provide unified oversight and streamlined vendor management across diverse trades like elevator maintenance, lighting, custodial/janitorial, landscaping, pest control and more. This approach enhances consistency, simplifies communication and drives higher services standards. Organizations can choose which services to include under centralized supervision and which to manage directly, offering both flexibility and operational control.

Facilities management reduces building operating costs by combining proactive maintenance, energy efficiency strategies, technology and optimized processes. Regular maintenance helps prevent unexpected breakdowns and extends the life of building systems like HVAC, plumbing and electrical, avoiding expensive emergency repairs. Smart building technologies, like automated controls and remote monitoring, optimize resources. Data-driven management identifies and eliminates inefficiencies, while consolidating vendor contracts and services improves purchasing power and reduces overhead. By integrating all building services under one coordinated strategy, facilities management ensures reliability, reduces downtime and supports long-term asset value.

While property management is primarily concerned with maximizing property ROI and occupancy, facilities management focuses on optimizing daily operations and enhancing building efficiency.

Property management includes a focus on tenant relations and financial ROI to maximize a property’s value. This includes responsibilities such as leasing/occupancy, rent collection and budgeting.

Facilities management focuses on daily maintenance operations, equipment performance and compliance management to lower operating costs, reduce risk and ensure occupants’ safety and comfort.

Partnering with a long-term facility management company is a strategic way to reduce operating costs by leveraging economies of scale and consolidating vendor relationships to make budgets more predictable.

To protect valuable assets, having access to specialized experts in energy-efficient facility management and regulatory compliance ensures issues are identified early, maintenance is proactive and property remains up to code.

As facility service needs fluctuate, a long-term partner can also quickly scale staffing, services and technologies to respond to organizational growth or changing market conditions.

Finally, a facility management partner frees organizations to focus on their core mission while experts oversee daily building operations.
