Hiring Checklist for Facility Service Providers
- 1

Check references and reviews
Request at least three commercial references and verify online reviews from other facility managers.

Look for scope clarity, response-time guarantees, cancellation terms, and escalation procedures.

Confirm staffing and equipment
Ask about crew size, training protocols, and whether they use their own equipment or require site-provided tools.

Compare pricing transparently
Get itemized quotes from at least three providers. Beware of unusually low bids — they often signal cut corners.
