Building Maintenance And Facilities Services

VIOX FACILITIES SERVICES VALUE DELIVERED

As a strategic partner, Viox centralized the Building Maintenance operations for Life Enriching Communities (LEC), supporting LEC’s ability to provide focused resident care. In addition, the outsourcing effort has allowed each LEC community to centralize and standardize its work request process, financial reporting, key performance measures, service level agreements and standard operating procedures.

CLIENT BUILDING MAINTENANCE OBJECTIVES

In an effort to centralize its building operations efforts and elevate the quality of service provided to its residents, LEC engaged Viox Services to perform building maintenance and landscaping services beginning with the Twin Towers facility in 2002. From commercial landscaping, general construction contractor, electrical, plumbing, painting, HVAC services, and general building maintenance services, to recently added Building Environmental Services such as housekeeping, event set-up, and furniture moving, Viox has become an integral part of the day-to-day care giving efforts of LEC. Viox now has two shifts working 365 days a year, responding to more than 12,000 work orders annually, with 45 to 50 full time people supporting the communities on any given day.

EMCOR BUILDING MAINTENACE AND FACILITIES SOLUTIONS

Through the use of Viox’s Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) and Preventative Maintenance program, Viox has controlled costs and provided capital investment recommendations based on historical data. Viox has also implemented a Key Performance Indicator quality system that tracks on a monthly basis maintenance cost per SF, number of client requested work orders, budget variances, emergency work orders, repeat requests, overdue work orders, technician performance and quality scores from LEC personnel. This allows Viox and LEC to drive continuous improvement as it relates to controlling costs and providing a better quality of life to the residents through value delivered facilities services and building maintenance. LEC has continued to expand its relationship with Viox because of the proven success and documented value that Viox has provided through its extensive processes and systems.
