Building & Maintenance Industries

A “SUSTAINABLE” Way to Build & Maintain Your Property

Integrated Building Maintenance Leader In the Facility Services

Industry

By driving down operational costs, you are constantly improving your ROA and

sustainability efforts. Let BMI help you!

Do you seek – more than ever – to

reduce costs associated with

facility’s maintenance, address

regulatory compliance and improve

performance?

The need to delay capital expenditures on

maintaining the facilities has driven facility

managers to deliver maximum value out of their

existing assets to reduce operating expenses and

achieve sustainability. These concerns represent

some of the reasons why facility managers are

consolidating the execution of their facility services

under the care of a small group of service providers.

As a result, outsourcing facility services is becoming

a popular strategy for organizations with larger

facilities portfolios.

This “Integrated Facility Management” approach

generates cost reduction and increases efficiencies as

well as it transfers execution accountabilities to

building maintenance providers like BMI.

BMI provides cost-effective facility

management solutions. Let us help

you to maximize your ROA.

communication strategy that depicts the method

for determining, developing, implementing and

insuring the safety, health and sustainability of

facilities while insuring a positive impact on the

built environment.

chemicals that are skin irritants, toxic or harmful

to the environment.

Our staff has been educated about LEED

In order to avoid this productivity killer,

BMI does not skimp on training. We

firmly believe that properly training our

staff saves more time, increase productivity

and performance as well as it enhances our

relationship with clients.

BMI’s staff is trained to report any

architectural, electrical, mechanical and

environmental deficiencies observed

during the performance of work to the

building manager for repair.

All of this comes from years of dedicated

experience, from both senior management

and the on-site staff. BMI is a company

that has financial stability and resource

expertise, while also understanding the

importance of excellent customer service.

Your Security – Our Top

Priority

BMI’s current insurance coverage includes

five million dollars public liability and

property damage and bonding of

employees. We understand that a breach

in security and safety reflects poorly on us.

Our Commitment To You

We take our commitment to providing superior quality

services, innovative styles, and competitive prices.

BMI has developed a numbers of ways to set it apart from

other companies serving facility industry. BMI understand

that almost anyone can claim that they can clean a building,

but we maintain that if you choose us to take care of your

building, you will not have the typical problems

of inconsistent cleaning that occur with other

companies. BMI’s approach is based on

communication; as a result, we have deployed

technologies that allow us to increase

productivity by collaborating with our clients.

Our customer-centric and business-focused

approach to building and facilities service

management is aligned with your business

objectives and priorities with technology from

strategy through to operations and continual

improvement.

Training – Key for Continual

Improvement

Continual improvement is a part of BMI daily

operations routine. All company staff from

Management down through the ranks is

constantly looking for improvement

opportunities.

For BMI, the time and expense of properly

training staff on different areas is minuscule

when compared to the lost time and productivity

caused by untrained staff; BMI believes that by

not providing employees with the necessary

tools and resources, the organization is expected

to lose its competitive edge in the industry.
