As the nation’s economy continues to recover from the recession, demand for apartments and condominiums has grown. More and more owners are finding that knowledgeable and professional property management teams help optimize their investment by minimizing costs.

Providing Benefits from Day One

A property management team can pay benefits beginning in the pre-construction phase. They work with developers to design marketing strategies such as on-site amenities that appeal to the desired market and provide advice on construction legal requirements.

Once construction starts, the property management team crafts a detailed operational structure for the project, saving the developer from the time-consuming process. Elements include everything from billing systems and insurance to welcome packages for new tenants.

Meeting the “Green” Challenge

Green buildings are a major priority in today’s residential structures, and property management teams have experience in cost-effective methods to comply with energy ordinances. They find resources for loans and other financial incentives to offset the high initial costs.

First Service Residential, a Chicago property management firm, recently implemented a creative cost-savings program in their properties. They ran a promotion offering prizes to teams of managers and staff that uncovered the largest savings in air venting and filtration, piping and steam traps in their corresponding buildings.

The 2016 Defense Authorization bill initiated a process of streamlining the DoD acquisition system by moving power into the hands of military service chiefs and secretaries. Congress recently agreed on the 2017 bill, which continues the reform aimed at encouraging more commercial buying.

Removing the Roadblocks to Commercial Acquisition

According to Bill Greenwalt, a Senior Senate Armed Services committee staffer, the shift toward commercial purchasing occurred 20 years ago, but the system was less agile than it was hoped. Leaders of the Defense committees hope to take advantage of the high level of innovation occurring in the commercial sector.

Greenwalt goes on to explain that, while Part 12 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation grants the DoD authority to purchase from commercial companies, it was laden with clauses that made it difficult to do so. Such regulations are actually meant to cover acquisition of major weapons systems.

New Pilot Program for 2017

The preference for commercial contractors extends to services including construction, medical and transportation as well as products. The new bill also mandates a new pilot program allowing the DoD to bypass requests for proposals for purchases of “innovative commercial items” up to $100 million in favor of open calls to industry.
