Top Challenges in Facility Maintenance and How to Overcome Them

Managing a facility can be complicated–especially when dealing with multiple contractors, vendors, and timelines. Generally, property managers have to juggle different contacts for every aspect of their site–from HVAC repair to electrical installation to external security. But what if we told you that all your facility needs could be handled with one single phone call? It’s true–ABE Construction Group can take care of everything!

The Challenges of Managing Multiple Contractors  

1. Fragmented Communication Channels

When property managers work with multiple contractors, communication can become a game of telephone. Each contractor operates independently, often requiring separate points of contact, scheduling systems, and work order processes. This fragmentation leads to:

  • Slow Response Times: Work orders bounce between contractors, increasing the time it takes to assign and complete tasks.
  • Miscommunication: Key details about the scope of work are lost or misinterpreted between parties.
  • Conflicting Schedules: Coordinating multiple contractors leads to scheduling conflicts and project delays, increasing costs and decreasing efficiency.

2. Inter-Trade Dependencies

In many cases, facility maintenance tasks require different trades to work together. For example, a plumbing repair might require drywall restoration, or an HVAC upgrade might need electrical rewiring.


In these situations, each contractor usually works on their own timeline and waits for the other vendor to complete their project before they can proceed. This lack of synchronization can add days to project timelines. And–in the worst-case scenario–you might be stuck with an incomplete project due to supply delays or other logistical issues. 

3. Administrative Overload

Managing multiple contractors means more paperwork, more follow-ups, and more headaches for property managers. Administrative work usually includes tracking individual invoices, verifying licenses, and reviewing insurance coverage. Over time, these tasks can add up, taking precious time away from the things that matter. 

4. Inconsistent Quality Standards

Each contractor has their own processes and quality standards, sometimes leading to uneven results across your property portfolio. For instance, one contractor might prioritize speed, while another could use materials or techniques that are incompatible with your facility. Not only does inconsistent quality cause short-term problems, but you are also more likely to need significant repairs or replacements in the long run.
