Apartment buildings
Whole buildings are priced per door, and the rate falls as the count rises. Common areas, shared plant and turnover volume are what the work actually consists of.
What the work is
A building with twelve units has a dozen leases running on twelve different clocks. Something is always renewing, turning over or being re-let, so placement becomes continuous rather than occasional.
Common areas carry their own load. Entrance, corridors, laundry, parking and shared plant all need scheduled attention, and none of it is attached to a single tenancy or a single complaint.
Reporting is consolidated: one statement covering every door, with costs attributable to the unit that generated them. Per-unit visibility inside a single building figure is the difference between a report and a total. See how it is priced.
Taking on a building
A condition report per door plus common areas, plant rooms and parking.
Terms, rents and end dates mapped so the renewal calendar is visible from day one.
Heating, water, laundry and lighting onto a preventive schedule rather than reactive calls.
One statement across the building, with each cost attributable to the door it came from.
Where scale helps
One visit inspects twelve units. One contractor attendance covers several jobs. One statement reports the whole building. The fixed cost of attending a property is spread across every door rather than charged against each.
Vacancy risk is spread further still. One empty unit in twelve is a small fraction of income, which changes how an owner can price the remaining units and how much guarantee cover is worth.
What rises is turnover volume and the administrative load behind it. Twelve renewal dates and twelve make-readies need a calendar, not a memory, and inspections have to run to a schedule.
Other property types
From a single suite to a whole building.
Buildings, answered
The questions that come with scale.
Twelve-unit building with a superintendent they hired and supervise. Turnover time dropped from six weeks to two.
Per-door pricing was explained against the building's actual rent roll. The proposal made sense before I signed.
They coordinated a boiler replacement with the tenants notified, the contractor scheduled and the invoice on my statement. I heard about it after.
Vacancy across the building is tracked on one page with the next renewal dates. I can plan a year out.

Building owners
Every unit surveyed, leases mapped onto one renewal calendar, and a consolidated statement that still shows costs door by door.
