On-going maintenance is required in new facilities.
It’s important to have a facilities management plan that addresses on-going maintenance in new facilities after the warranty period has expired. Preventative maintenance is imperative. Often times, since a very large investment has been made, what can be overlooked is that people don't expect maintenance after new work is performed. But it Is needed! A perfect example was a project where we installed a brand-new make-up air unit. It was a hospital. Within 6 months the filters were sucked into the duct work.
I would encourage building owners to hire Marty and Thirteen Clovers to manage their valuable assets.

Extremely versatile.
Excels at planning.
Marty is extremely versatile and brought a breadth of experience to manage all aspects of our facility. His abilities range from hands-on when needed to address mechanical breakdowns to developing relationships with competent service-providers and suppliers to ensure a consistent and well-maintained facility.
Marty excels at planning. He developed a rolling 10-year forecast for the facilities while under his care. He left a legacy by taking on long-neglected projects to enhance exterior and interior aesthetics. He's creative too; Marty found cost-effective solutions
for some tough projects that were left partially completed by prior contractors. All these could be found in and around a 30,000+ sf primary building plus adjacent seasonal golf/pool facilities!

Rolex Swiss Army Knife!
Marty has helped me on multiple large complex rehab projects at my properties over the years. He has a true gift to make difficult construction problems disappear with his creative problem solving ability. When I run into a head scratcher at one of my properties he is always my first call. Marty is my Rolex Swiss Army Knife of construction!!

Diagnostic. Prompt. Expert.
I worked with Marty as a vendor to Grand Traverse County. PPS replaced County staff when the County Board outsourced cleaning services. We were a few months in when Marty came to the County. He created a web-based system so we were all on the same page. That relationship worked well enough he hired PPS during COVID at Traverse City County Club!
Marty is diagnostic, has incredible follow through and he's prompt! He is an expert when it comes to making sure maintenance of your building is taken care of.

Beyond expectations.
I hired Marty as Facilities Director for Grand Traverse County with the primary directive being to analyze and develop a plan for the improvement of all physical assets in the county.
His plan was the critical foundation for implementing the County's long term strategy.
Marty performed these activities beyond the expectations of the job. He did it in a very professional manner and I would recommend him to any organization.
