Controlling Costs
WFL utilizes a vast portfolio of vendors who service Fairfield and Westchester Counties. This ensures that we receive competitive pricing on a continuous basis. Daily property inspections ensure that sub-contractors are fulfilling the obligations outlined in the contract specifications.
We have over 3 million square feet under management, which affords us preferred pricing on most all property services. These savings extend to utilities, plumbing, electrical, landscaping, snowplow, elevator, and many other contracted expenses.
We understand the importance of staying within budget while delivering exceptional results. Our management team employs active cost control and budget management strategies to keep your property on track financially. We conduct thorough cost estimation, value engineering, and contract negotiation to maximize cost savings without compromising quality. Our transparent reporting keeps you informed of expenses, ensuring that you have full visibility and control over all financial aspects.
WFL has its own skilled maintenance team to handle routine items such as sheetrock, painting, carpentry and many other items that saves the property owner money and time.
Utility Savings and Green Energy Sources
Our vast portfolio of diverse properties enables us to package utility costs through deregulation, to ensure that each property obtains savings. We have the ability to save up to 20- 25 % for gas, oil and electric, through economy of scale.
WFL has extensive knowledge of solar, turbine and other new secondary energy sources. We have relationships with professionals who provide these services that can maximize rebates and government assistance for the implementation of these services. In most cases these enhancements will add value to the property and save energy usage at the same time.
We promote the usage of energy efficient light bulbs, LED fixtures, and motion sensors. WFL has in-depth knowledge of where to place sensors, timers and the most efficient wattage of florescent bulbs to fully increase savings in labor costs and energy.
