Any business property or private residence will readily admit that July is not the month to be without air conditioning in Virginia. Unfortunately, Kimco Realty found one of its Woodbridge, Va. properties in this very predicament. The NOVA South Baseball Training Academy, a tenant residing in over 20,000 square feet of retail space in a Kimco managed strip mall, was without air-conditioning in the beginning of July. Kimco needed a new rooftop air conditioning unit installed with haste to keep its client’s space comfortable for training.
Trimark Mechanical Services has been an honest, trustworthy partner to Kimco for the last five years. Kimco accepted Trimark Mechanical’s bid, confident in Trimark’s ability to deliver quality work in a short period of time.
Property managers know they can count on Trimark Mechanical to finish the job quickly and efficiently. It is reassuring to work with Trimark because they were founded by former property managers and building engineers. They get it.
Batter Up
The NOVA South Baseball Training Academy occupied 20,000 square feet of business space within the Kimco managed property. The air conditioning unit that served the baseball academy’s space had failed and could not be fixed. The ordering and installation of a new unit needed to be done quickly in order for the baseball academy to continue instructional programs.
Trimark hit the ground running—setting up an exact schedule by monitoring weather forecasts and the availability of vendor resources before the bid process was even completed. By explaining in detail to the client how each phase would be approached, many potential problems were eliminated. Client communication continued throughout the project; Keating’s input was welcomed and she was kept up-to-date every step of the way.
This thorough approach to project management allowed Trimark Mechanical to overcome several obstacles unique to this project. The electrical wiring in the Kimco property was older and not up to code. The county would not approve the newly installed air conditioning unit until the wiring was brought up to code. Despite a change in the scope of the job, Trimark Mechanical worked with Kimco and county inspectors to update the electrical system and ready the new air conditioner to pass inspection.
Not only was the new unit installed in a short period of time, Trimark kept the 20,000 square feet cool during the electrical upgrade, allowing the kids at the The NOVA South Baseball Training Academy to train hard and hone their skills in a cooled facility.
In the end, Kimco kept their tenant comfortable and happy.
