Facility Management

We swing the hammer and take the call so you don’t have to
Altair’s team of seasoned facility professionals includes electricians, certified HVAC technicians as well as painters and general maintenance technicians. Our extensive vendor network is utilized when needed to supplement our team. We are able to “stand-up” teams in markets we are not currently in by partnering with local resources as well as utilizing our in-house human resources department to recruit.

PMware is a proprietary web-based application that contains electronic documentation, data abstracts, resources (people), and workflow (work orders, incident reports, project management and administrative tasks). The culmination of this information creates an easily scalable, strategic environment which allows us to operate physical assets without wasting resources or time. PMware’s reporting tools allow allocation of staff, vendors and parts to be properly billed to disparate owner groups.
