Facilities Maintenance for Unoccupied Sites: A Case Study of Agility and Collaboration
By - Krystle Elswick
In the world of commercial property management, maintaining unoccupied sites presents a unique set of challenges. For one Canadian-based client managing properties in California, these challenges were compounded by unexpected complications. Fortunately, DAVACO, a leading facilities maintenance company, stepped in to provide agile, collaborative solutions that restored order and compliance while protecting the client’s interests.
Challenges at Unoccupied Sites
Unoccupied properties can quickly become liabilities if left unattended. During routine site assessments, DAVACO’s team uncovered an issue that required immediate attention: two unoccupied properties had become temporary shelters for squatters.
For the client, this created a dual challenge—ensuring the safety of the individuals involved while addressing legal and compliance concerns tied to property management. Managing these complexities demanded the expertise of an experienced facilities maintenance company capable of working across multiple entities.
The DAVACO Approach: Agile and Collaborative
DAVACO’s Facilities Maintenance team took a comprehensive, step-by-step approach to address the situation. Each stage of the process emphasized agility, collaboration, and compliance:
- Legal and Code Compliance Coordination
DAVACO worked closely with local law enforcement and code enforcement agencies to ensure the sites were cleared safely, legally, and ethically. This ensured the client’s actions met all local regulations and maintained a positive reputation in the community.
- Client Communication and Transparency
Throughout the process, DAVACO maintained open lines of communication with the client. By providing regular updates and collaborating on timelines, the team ensured all actions aligned with the client’s goals.
- Site Security and Repairs
Once the sites were safely cleared, DAVACO’s team partnered with local technicians to secure access points, preventing future unauthorized entry. The properties were then brought up to the necessary standards for a smooth handover to the landlords.
By seamlessly managing these complex tasks, DAVACO turned a challenging situation into a streamlined resolution—one that protected the client’s assets and reputation.
