Who decides
Service calls go through on-site maintenance; repiping and larger jobs are approved by the management company and owner.
Where to focus
Older buildings and large restaurant groups are the steadiest plumbing accounts.
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
