Trying to Fill a Space? Choose FCAC

Fast turnaround. LEED® guidelines. Reduced budgets. Liability. Maintenance.
Tenants are demanding the highest quality space and one-stop, customer-
oriented services. Not only is the property management market fiercely
competitive, you're operating in a demanding era of rapid change.

You need a partner who intuitively understands these issues, who can
help you face myriad new business challenges. That partner is the
Finishing Contractors Association of Chicago (FCAC).

Our Consultative Approach: Communication 101

For starters, an FCAC professional communicates clearly and precisely
with you. Pre-project meetings with the contractor, project managers
and workers start you on the right track. More than 1000 hours of
training have taught our contactors to ask questions and leave nothing
to chance. Our consultative approach helps us understand your unique
requirements–your expected work schedule, safety concerns, unique
work areas, tenants, entrances and exits, security protocol–and your
expectations, so we can match your needs to our experienced workforce.

First Impressions Count

Prospective tenants judge you by the aesthetics of your property. Smooth walls, clean lines and tight
wall-covering will let prospects know that you are a cut above other facilities and that their search is over.

What's more, with today's tight budgets, there's no room for experimentation. Too often, we have been
called by a property manager to clean-up after an untrained contractor could not fulfill the obligations of
a project. Members of the Finishing Contractors Association of Chicago get it right the first time–whether
you need painting, wall-covering, or drywall finishing.

Over many years, we've proven that employing the best trained journeypersons is the only way to keep
quality high. Our FCAC members complete extensive classroom, hands-on and job site training that give
them the skills to produce top-notch results. Our craftsmen and women learn to master industrial coatings,
wall-covering and painting in the most rigorous apprenticeship programs.

All of these benefits add up to on-time projects, productivity, upfront savings, longer-term operational cost
saving, and very satisfied tenants. With an FCAC professional as your partner, your completed project is sure
to fill your space.

Leading the way with LEED®

Sustainability is not only a national initiative, but in many management companies it is a requirement. That's why it's critical that your finishing contractor implements green standards correctly and understands their effect on project cost and scheduling. With an FCAC professional on board, you're assured that your project will comply with recognized standards while staying on budget and schedule.

This year the FCAC contractors are focused on Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) training. LEED is the nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction, and operation of high performance green buildings. Developed by the United States Green Building Council, the LEED program gives owners and operators the tools to set a points rating system for certification. Call on an FCAC contractor to ensure that your property meets these important guidelines.
