Hello ull… my name is Randall. I’ve been following T.I.A. for a while now and decided jump on the forums.. I’m currently in Gainesville FL. I work for a property management company in-which I maintain and repair all aspects of a 1296 unit student housing community, from hvac to plumbing to electrical and ect…. almost everything gets done in-house… been with my company about 5 years now… looking to get my contractors soon to move on and branch off by myself in hvac only which is my main interest … n.e. ways … looking forward to meeting new people here and hearing thoughts from the minds of others in many fields of the trades…
Welcome Randall.
Welcome to the forum Randall. Wow that’s a crazy amounts of units you have to maintain.
Nice to meet ull… yea DR99 ikr, we got like 3 other techs and a grounds guy but only about 2 of us really know the property so were constantly moving… think that’s crazy, we got all of out leases ending at the same time so we have to turn about 80% of the property in one month for new move-ins… so around that time of year were runing around 90hrs a week…
Did you see that fire that happened to the student housing under construction a few weeks ago? They even had to rescue a guy from the fire it was a pretty insane video. That seems like a pretty tiny crew for a property that size.
Welcome aboard Randall
Thanks ull…DR99 I heard about that fire but didn’t see the video, sounds bad… yes I agree small crew but try telling the higher ups that…lol. for them its about saving money even though our property pulls in 33% of the company’s net… not so bad though just have to learn time management and being efficient..
Welcome to TIA!
Welcome to the forum Randall.
Thanks for the welcome everyone… still trying to figure out how to get notification to my phone so I can respond to stuff and get more involved in the community…. is there an app? If not TIA should make one, I’m sure everyone would use it being that many people like me use their smart phone more than a computer… n.e. ways I’m looking foward to being involved with the community …
Welcome to the forums, glad to see another property maintenance tech. I’m also in your boat except pushing to move into the company IT department.
There is no TIA app, but they do have a mobile version of the Forum.
