A dynamic solution is transforming the way Facilities handles small projects, specifically targeting our most frequent requests for painting and window film installations. Introducing project batching – a strategic pilot program designed to streamline processes and enhance time and cost effectiveness.
Project batching involves grouping similar tasks together to be completed in one go, eliminating the need to deploy multiple contractors on individual projects. This not only saves time and energy but also unlocks a multitude of advantages for our customers. Read below for the 5 ways that project batching can improve your small project experience.
1. Cost Savings Through Economies of Scale
By consolidating orders and waiting until a group of similar projects come in, customers can tap into the power of economies of scale. Batching non-urgent paint and window film requests allows for better pricing, as the volume of work increases, leading to more cost-effective deals.
2. Time Savings for Project Managers
With less time associated with individual projects, Project Managers can complete the paint and window film projects quicker when tackled collectively. This efficiency is particularly advantageous for non-urgent tasks, allowing for a more systematic approach to project management.
3. Increased Interest from Contractor Market
The prospect of multiple projects batched together becomes an attractive opportunity for contractors. Specialist contractors, renowned for managing complex requirements, are more likely to engage when presented with a series of projects. This not only reduces project risk but also attracts high quality contractors.
4. Continuity Across Projects with One Contractor
Managing relationships with multiple contractors can be time-consuming. Batching projects together into one contract streamlines the process, fostering a strong contractor relationship. This is pivotal, especially for projects in sensitive environments, where continuity is crucial.
5. Shared Resources for Lower Overheads
Appointing one contractor for several projects leads to significant cost savings through economies of scale. By project batching, we can establish trust with one contractor, who efficiently organizes batched projects, maximizing the potential for cost savings.
How to Sign Up for Project Batching
Signing up for the project batching program is seamless. Customers simply submit a Facilities Service Request on our service portal as they normally would. If their request involves a painting or window film project, they can opt-in to batching by selecting "yes" when prompted with, "Would you like to take advantage of project batching?" Additionally, the customer service support center can reach out if a project is deemed eligible for batching, ensuring no opportunity for cost savings is missed.

Project batching is an innovation in efficiency, cost savings, and streamlined project management. As we embrace this new solution, we transform the way we approach small projects and pave the way for a more collaborative and cost-effective future.
