Running facilities across many locations
Short, practical guides on the decisions facility teams make every week.
How do you keep Texas HVAC work on the right code after 1 Sep 2026?
New Texas HVAC work as of 1 Sep 2026 is on the 2024 mechanical codes and ASHRAE 15/34-2024. Outdoor HVAC electrical is the 2026 NEC, and the listed-equipment GFCI exception still applies.
How do you keep life-safety inspections from going overdue?
Put each required inspection on the asset, close deficiencies, and keep the certificate on the record. That is how the calendar stays current.
What do you do in a market where you have no service provider?
Software can route a request, but it cannot create a technician. How to find one, check them properly, and write the first agreement.
What should a maintenance request form ask?
Eight questions a location team can answer without guessing at the cause, and what to do about the calls that skip the form.
What response targets should you set by priority?
Six clocks sit between the request and the closeout. How to give each one an owner and a time the service network can actually meet.
Which facility repair costs are you paying for twice?
A valid invoice can still be the wrong expense. The five coverage checks that belong before anyone is dispatched.
Why do spend caps and approval limits leak?
One dollar amount is being asked to answer four different questions, which is why repairs stop halfway through the first visit.
How do you build a trade and priority coding table?
Ten trades and three priorities, each one written as a condition the location can actually see rather than a guess at the failed part.
How do you decide whether to repair or replace equipment?
The fifty percent rule looks at a single repair, so it misses the asset that failed four times in a year. Here is the sum to run instead.
Nothing matches that. Try another word, or clear the filters.
