Sustainable Property Management Services
Sustainable Property Management incorporates the green environmentally friendly techniques and technologies with conventional Property management, to provide a more comprehensive form of property management.
Instead of taking a ‘one size’ fits all approach, we design our management to suit each property requirements, incorporating current effective strategies with trends that are green making a more sustainable project for now and into the future. Property owners and investors and stakeholders alike, understand the value of sustainable management.
Both strategies are basically indistinguishable from one another aside from the ‘green features’, and one could very easily argue that both strategies share the same goal, which begs the question; ‘how can sustainable property management’ set your property apart from the competition?
Easy answer is that Sustainable Property management or green management isn’t merely a trending strategy implemented by forward-thinking property owners, but it’s an entire movement toward a more sustainable and circular environment, and its growing in popularity.
The importance and value of developing concrete and workable environmental practices for managing Real estate, is not only about trends and gaining a certification but it offers other resources as well. Our planning is meant to bring this into focus. To begin, performing an environmental audit or assessment is one of the quickest, simplest and more effective ways to determine your building’s current environment. As a property owner, developer, or investor it is critical to have a property manager, who not only knows how to lease and rent your property, but today’s real estate managers need to know how to manage property sustainably. Having a sustainable or green property manager is an investment and it raises your property profile and in the long runs saves you money and increases the value of your investment or property.
During the ‘evaluating’, we established all the activities to be conducted and responsibilities for each activity. We access the property to be managed, the current operation, maintenance and equipment. We then evaluate and identify areas needing improvements or corrections. We know the push is on from Governments and all areas of society for property managers to enhance their management procedures by acting more sustainable. And this translate into gaining the knowledge, acquiring the skills, understanding what needs to done and take action. We know this and we do this at 1st POSS.
Here at 1st POSS, we evaluate the effects and the health of the properties environment that we manage. For most decision makers sustainability is at the top of their priority for managing their property. We know that our job is to help these ‘stakeholders’ and give them a chance to gain energy efficiency, save money and realize growth all while doing it sustainably! We help simplify the ‘green world’ of sustainability and break down the complexities. Most of work is done within and in combination with the GREEN LEASE! (see Green list this site). The building carbon emissions or carbon footprint becomes the building ‘benchmark’, and this makes it easier to measure our actions. We collaborate with all stakeholders, industry leaders and manufactures to implement processes and technologies to the reduce the building’s carbon footprint. That includes creating plans for reducing the building footprint with efficient green recycling, solar panels where they can be implemented and developing environmental policies for both the tenant, investors and property owners.
The Real Estate property management has a substantial impact on the environment because the rental industry uses a significant amount of energy and produce a sizeable amount of waste in material and resources. Sustainable Property Management requires more than keeping an accurate record of energy, water and power uses but a holistic approach that encompass occupancy, lease and duration, as well as agreements that strengthens the value of the investment and approaches that improve the core aspects of the property. Managing your property or properties can be overwhelming and you can be quickly become inundated with management tasks. Investing in energy-saving equipment and prioritizing sustainable practices have been proven to more cost-effective and make good business sense in the long run, is key.
Evaluate & Improvement
Sustainable Property Management offer property owners, strategies to improve the conditions of their properties and increase their profits. And the best simplest, accurate and most effective way to start your Sustainable management is by performing an environmental audit.
This audit will give you a good look at your current consumption and use patterns and allow you to produce preventative measures, create obtainable goals and decide on sustainable policies to employ, for the success of your property. Not only must an ‘analysis of your property environment’ be evaluated, but you must implement a ‘Green” buying policy, introduce a sustainable recycling plan and construct a waste control system and invest in other technologies.
Result
No longer it is only important for property owners to lower operational expenses and increase its value, both of which are appealing to occupants, but now that technology and materials are accessible many owners are including as many sustainable features in a unit as possible.
Research has shown that today’s environmentally aware consumers not only want sustainable features in their units, but they are also demanding them now. “Green” property management is no longer a niche industry, but very much a part of our sustainable future and renters realizes the ‘going Green’ not only saves them money, it also helps them to reduce their carbon footprint, which helps our overall environment.
