What this means when you scope a building

  • Bank and insurance operations often run large open floors; a daytime porter for restrooms, kitchens, and conference rooms keeps them presentable.
  • Older downtown buildings with stone and terrazzo lobbies need scheduled restorative floor work on top of nightly mopping.
  • Chesterfield and Henrico County sites usually share routes well, while Petersburg and Hopewell buildings may need their own schedule.
  • Health care employs 84,869 people in the region, and medical suites need clinical areas cleaned on their own task list, apart from general office space.
