Your Partnership Guide

You don’t have to choose between supporting school facility management and supporting student success — you need a partner to manage your onsite facilities maintenance team. Let ABM help you navigate this daunting task with feasible solutions and a proven roadmap to success.

Define project goals

Our local Director of Education Solutions conduct a strategy session with your team to outline what you want to achieve through outsourcing. They’ll expertly answer any questions, help you better understand realistic outcomes for your project, and assist in shaping the appropriate scope for your outsourcing.

Build the model

Next, the ABM team will present a drafted solution model covering staffing, technology, and specific features of your organization to discuss and refine together, ensuring it meets expectations and aligns precisely with your needs. Lastly, we’ll review financial terms to ensure we meet budget goals.

Assign dedicated resources

A dedicated ABM transition team made up of HR, technical SMEs, client engagement resources, and project leadership will arrive locally to ensure every facet of the transition is covered and that the appropriate level of support is on-site to address any needs that may arise.

Start transition

With a plan and team in place, it’s time to start your new program. Our team will begin drafting contracts, onboarding personnel, ordering equipment, and working on other critical tasks. Thorough and ongoing communication will take place directly with ABM to the district team as the program is implemented.
