Jaggard Macland Partners with SafeContractor to Strengthen its Commercial Property Management Service

As part of our ongoing commitment to delivering a proactive commercial property maintenance service, Jaggard Macland has entered into a partnership with SafeContractor.

This partnership strengthens the way we vet, appoint and manage contractors across the commercial property portfolios we look after, giving our clients greater confidence that work is being carried out safely and in line with recognised industry standards.

Raising the Standard of Commercial Property Maintenance

Commercial landlords are under increasing pressure to demonstrate good governance, manage risk and maintain safe, compliant buildings.

While contractor insurance has always formed part of our due diligence, today's property owners expect a more robust approach. SafeContractor provides an independently recognised accreditation process, giving us greater visibility of contractor competence, qualifications and compliance.

For our clients, that means better oversight and greater reassurance when maintenance or repair works are required.

As Adam Marshall, Director of Property Management, explains:

"Managing commercial property is about protecting our clients' assets over the long term. Having a robust process for selecting and monitoring contractors is a key part of that. Our partnership with SafeContractor strengthens the service we provide and gives clients additional confidence that the contractors working on their properties have been independently assessed against recognised standards."

What This Means for Our Property Management Clients

The partnership allows us to further strengthen our contractor management process by:

• Accessing a nationwide network of more than 40,000 pre-vetted contractors
• Verifying contractor competencies for specific types of work
• Monitoring insurance and compliance documentation
• Providing clear records to support compliance and due diligence
• Appointing appropriate specialists for planned and reactive maintenance projects

Ultimately, it enables us to deliver a more consistent and professionally managed service across every property we manage.

Forward-Thinking Commercial Property Maintenance

Good commercial property maintenance should never be purely reactive. Alongside day-to-day property management, we also help landlords plan for the future through our Planned Maintenance service.

By carrying out condition surveys and preparing long-term maintenance plans, we help clients understand what their buildings are likely to need over the coming years. This allows works to be prioritised, budgets to be planned and costly emergency repairs to be reduced.

We can also prepare specifications, procure contractors through a competitive tender process and oversee projects from inception through to completion, ensuring works are delivered efficiently and to the required standard.

By combining planned maintenance with a strengthened contractor management process, we're able to offer clients a complete service that helps protect the value of their property and improves long-term asset performance.

Investing in Better Property Management

Our partnership with SafeContractor is the latest in a series of investments designed to enhance the service we provide.

Alongside the introduction of our new property management software platform and the continued growth of our Property Management team, it reflects our commitment to continually improving how we support commercial landlords and property owners.
