so you need a your services to be slick, efficient, cost effective, and reliable.
This includes the Retail Property Maintenance, yes, the service that support the shop, the stuff no one ever wants to know about but when it goes wrong it makes a big impact. these services support the retail environment, they are foundations of the operations of the retail center.

Can you access multiple trades of the same discipline quickly

Consider the scenario of a late Thursday night or Saturday afternoon, its 42 degrees, you have a failure in the air conditioning and it is uncomfortable across 3000 meters of sales floor.
You have called your Mechanical Services provider, no answer, they are in a basement some where an hours drive away, what now?
Do you have another provider of the same discipline you can call? Do they know your site? Can they arrive soon? What parts might they need?
Is it an air conditioning problem, perhaps it is electrical or a plumbing issue?
We have many plumbers air conditioning mechanics, electricians and other trades people whom have worked for us.
Google or other search engine is an alternative, but lets be honest, how much will they charge and will they be any good at what they do?
All our suppliers are vetted, all our supplier have worked with for us years, and all are keen to please for the next job.
