Who decides
At apartment communities the on-site maintenance supervisor handles service calls, but preferred-vendor lists and capital replacements are set by the management company's regional or corporate office. Hotels buy through the owner or the hotel management company, often around a brand-required renovation.
Where to focus
Older, larger buildings replace more equipment. Filter by year built and unit count to find the properties most likely to need change-outs, then group them by management company to pitch one regional decision-maker for many sites.
Vendor approval
Large management companies usually require a credentialing service, insurance certificates and a W-9 before a first job. See requirements for the top Texas managers.
Timing
Texas demand peaks May–September; budgets for replacements are usually set in Q4 for the following year.
