Decreasing Operating Expenses

The Challenge

The client janitorial cleaning contract costs were inflated due to incorrect area calculations. An ineffective methodology had been used to determine cleanable areas across their 7.5 million+ square foot portfolio, resulting in systematic overpayment.

The Solution

Stevenson Systems discovered the flawed calculation approach and provided clear, defendable area calculations. The corrected measurements revealed 425,000 square feet of overstated cleanable area across the portfolio.

The Results

The accurate cleanable area measurements enabled successful renegotiation of janitorial service agreements, resulting in $408,000 in annual savings while maintaining service quality standards. The corrected calculations now serve as the baseline for all future contract negotiations.
