A building manager is responsible for managing, operating, and repairing a building or set of buildings, including collecting rent payments, handling maintenance calls, supervising property employees, and keeping accurate records. They may manage residential or commercial properties and must research and analyze the rental market.
A building manager is responsible for managing, operating and repairing the building or set of buildings under his management. Builder manager duties can vary from building to building, but can range from collecting rent payments from tenants to handling maintenance calls from tenants.
A building manager may be responsible for a residential property. In this case, it is typically an apartment building or complex. The manager should be responsible for identifying maintenance issues in common areas of the complex before they become problems. Additionally, the construction manager manages the property maintenance staff to assign maintenance and repair calls coming in from tenants to the maintenance people or contractors they need to bring in to fix items.
Commercial properties are typically managed by a construction manager. In these cases, tenants are usually businesses and organizations rather than individual tenants or families. Tasks in these situations are similar to residential ones – the main difference is the type of clients the site manager is working with.
Managing and supervising property employees is another role a building manager performs. This includes everything from determining the types of employees that need to be hired to work on site, part-time or full-time. It also includes determining what type of work can be hired instead of hiring employees on the payroll to manage the building. For example, the manager may have a full-time handyman working on the property and on call. If the problem is plumbing related, however, the construction manager may decide to hire a plumber instead of hiring a full-time plumber on staff.
Recording, managing and storing accurate records is also another important role played by a building manager. The manager needs to know which units are occupied and which are vacant. A building manager also needs to market and promote vacant properties to fill them with occupants. Additionally, the manager must keep track of collection rent payments and manage the collection process if payments are late or if tenants have to be evicted.
Finally, a building manager needs to research and analyze the rental market for the type of property he is managing. This allows the construction manager to assess current rental rates and whether or not rental rates need to be adjusted based on the current state of the rental market.
