Industries We Target

Commercial Office and Corporations
Real estate developers, commercial real estate brokers, Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) and private owners all own commercial office space to house tenants and to generate income. Some hold their properties for years; some are short-term investors. Many companies that own or manage a large quantity of real estate (over 1 million square feet) have their own facilities staff to oversee those operations. These owners include corporations such as utilities, technology companies, banks, insurance companies, and large manufacturers with off-shore plants and large numbers of sales and operations in North America. We will help you identify the largest owners in a geographic market and the largest investors with holdings in North America. We can contact facilities by class of building, location of building, size of building, age of building envelope and major renovations. Our experience in speaking the language of and addressing the needs of these demanding customers will help you better communicate the value you bring to their operations.

Education
Our education database spans the broad sectors of Universities and Colleges, K-12 school districts, charter, parochial and private schools as well as pre-schools, day care center and nurseries. We examine colleges and universities to keep track of ownership and government funding as well as understanding if facilities decisions are centralized or decentralized. Because of the unique operating hours of these facilities, they are challenged with uneven use and sometimes high operating costs with uncertain revenue streams from year to year, so cost-cutting solutions, energy management solutions and infrastructure issues are an ongoing concern.

Government (Federal, State and Municipal and Military) and Non-Profit
The government market, our broadest vertical sector, and the non-profit sector may make excellent long-term partners. The government market includes any building or facility with government or institutional ownership not falling under other categories. Private non-profits such as the Boy Scouts of America, churches and other religious organizations, and social service agencies often own commercial office spaces with private non-profit boards making the decisions about capital budget items involving their buildings. These two sectors' unusual attention to reducing operational risk, their budget challenges, and their sometimes convoluted decision-making processes-often involving staff, government contracting, and boards or oversight agencies-require the understanding that AllFacilities brings to the table. Underneath ownership, we also help to organize all building types by use (e.g., "retail" versus "commercial office"), similarly to the other vertical sectors. We are experts in helping you to navigate the regulatory and bureaucratic barriers to bidding on these often lucrative contracts.

Healthcare Institutions
The healthcare sector has a broad cross-section of building types from metropolitan critical care facilities to regional hospitals to small clinics, labs, physician's practices and medical professional buildings. This data sector also includes health care systems, nursing homes and assisted living centers. These facilities are faced with mission-critical planning and operations and 24/7 functions. Selling to these facilities may also encounter a variety of regulatory and scientific hurdles, from health restrictions to certification standards to load and lift requirements. Solutions must be tailored to each sub-set within this sector very differently.

Hospitality
We understand the unique and varied requirements of Resorts, Hotels, Motels, and Casinos. Key challenges that we can address:

• Due to the unusual ownership structure of many of these facilities, the decision makers can be hard to track down.
• Planning for major capital expenditures are done quietly until they are advertised for bid.
• These facilities often have sophisticated facilities teams who know their spaces intimately and must be approached in a sophisticated manner.

AllFacilities can target these locations based on number of rooms, amenities, outside contracts for servicing, and various outdoor features that fit your particular products and services. The owners, managers and management companies who run these facilities are challenged with ongoing maintenance, repairs and modernization while facing a tough economy. Solutions that extend building life and reduce energy consumption are attractive right now.

Manufacturing
From steel and chemical plants to tool and dye shops and laboratories and distribution centers and warehouses, this sector has a broad array of processes going on inside its building envelope. Because of that, facilities management is less important than operations inside the envelope. Usually operations includes facilities responsibility. This is also a decentralized function so decision makers are often both at a site level and at a corporate level and they work together closely to make capital budget decisions.

Multi-Family Housing
The multi-family housing segment ranges from ten or more unit apartment buildings with a single owner to huge complexes owned by real estate companies who own and manage their own facilities to condominium complexes that are owned by private owners associations. Due to the transitory nature of the tenants, these buildings get heavy use that require on-site knowledge of facilities and corporate decision-making at a second location, often not in the same market.

Recreational Facilities
Recreational facilities, including Convention Centers, Arenas and Stadiums, Country Clubs, Golf Courses, and Amusement Parks, face extraordinary challenges in the unique nature of their operations. Decision-making may overlap with hospitality management, and, similar to the hospitality industry, the decision makers can be hard to track down. These facilities also face uneven operating hours and fluctuate between extremely heavy use and no use. AllFacilities understands how to treat each recreational facility according to its custom needs and how to talk to the sophisticated operations teams in this sector.

Retail, Restaurant and Grocery
National and regional retailers either own or rent the buildings, shopping centers and malls that house them. Challenged by the economy, these owners managers and operations executives must maintain building operations while reducing energy consumption and negotiating with tenants and landlords about capital improvements. Grocery and restaurants use more energy per square foot than most commercial spaces and are especially challenged to reduce operating costs. This also includes regional and national mall, shopping center and outlet store owners and managers.

Transportation Facilities
This sector includes Airports, Bus, Train and Truck/Freight handling facilities. With their unique nature of handling logistics, this sector has both indoor and outdoor facilities issues to deal with and solutions providers must have experience with this sector to approach it. We understand their special concerns about operations flow, disrupting operating hours, integrating maintenance and improvements with existing schedules, and other concerns unique to these facilities.
