Tips for Managing Commercial Property

In today's world, oftentimes the people who are managing commercial properties are not the owners. Think of a retail setting. There is probably a manager who is in charge of overseeing the operations, including the management of the property. This manager is most likely concerned with the variety of other tasks, like promoting sales or managing staff. This means you shouldn't assume that they are handling the property management as well. 

Two things you can do to make sure your properties are taken care of are:

• Make sure you have the best available technology
• Have staff trained in correct management

Technology could include:

• Upgraded security systems
• Energy efficient lights and heating systems
• Upgraded windows and doors for efficiency and security

Another step would be to develop a plan and inform staff of it. This could range from a simple daily checklist, to a full emergency response plan in the event of a disaster. 

Emergency response plans are great for directing staff for what to do if there is an emergency. Things to include in this plan are:

• Contact numbers for contractors to come in and stop any further damage. 
• Meet up locations in case the building needs to be evacuated
• Business continuity plans for what will happen if the building cannot be occupied for a period of time

At SERVPRO of Bismarck we assist companies with putting together these plans and take pride in out attention to detail and planning these for you.

By taking these steps, you can ensure that your business is managed safely and properly.
