In this episode, host Rob Claus welcomes special guest Jay Clark of CCFP Solutions, LLC, based in Fort Worth, Texas. Jay brings a wealth of experience from his career as a facilities maintenance manager at healthcare institutions and properties. He has since transitioned to the private sector, and is applying his expertise to perform inspections for small businesses across Texas.

  • What does a facility manager do?: They are responsible for the daily, monthly, and yearly care of the commercial properties they manage. While they may not perform the actual work, they oversee the buildings and ensure they remain operational.
  • The Joint Commission: Accreditation by The Joint Commission is a key credential for hospitals and other medical facilities, and their standards are critical for healthcare facility managers to understand and implement. Accreditation assess compliance with healthcare quality and safety standards.
  • Fractional Facility Management: There are hundreds of thousands of businesses across North America that are used for commercial purposes but are small enough not to have a staff facility manager present. Providing a professional service as a vendor can help these properties stay productive and in service.
  • Opportunity: It is essential to conduct maintenance inspections for smaller facilities that lack staff to monitor the building. If any critical system fails, it can lead to significant revenue loss, which could jeopardize the budget. CCPIA® members are excellent candidates to fill that role.
