Before you get started on any building maintenance project, your key focus area in the 21st century should be on utilising ‘paperless’ tools to streamline project workflow. That’s right. No more terrifying ‘mountains of documents’ scenarios.

No more waiting on progress reports from your secretary. No more jammed fax machines or lost dockets.

At Higgins, we know that sticking to deadlines is an all-important crux factor for your reputation in the building maintenance industry. Managing nationwide projects for specific commercial painting maintenance projects should never have to be held up by old, clunky systems of team collaboration. Put the project management control back in your hands by using workflow tools designed specifically for the building maintenance industry.
