McKinstry

Building operations and maintenance significantly impact not just the owner’s costs, but the performance of the building itself, which is especially important in critical environments and data centers. McKinstry’s facility management service provides a single point of accountability for all facility maintenance requirements, working with clients in an ongoing relationship to oversee maintenance staff and implement practices that will optimize the performance of building operations and enhance environmental quality.

Facilities managers help clients set goals and outline procedures for managing sustainable operations throughout the life of the building, including basic facility management and maintenance practices for indoor environmental quality, energy, and other resource efficiencies. 

Buildings managed by McKinstry take advantage of intelligent automation, modern communications, and other technology solutions to operate, monitor, and maintain a building in the most efficient and cost-effective manner for both the short and long term.
