Like any
other High-rise Residential Building the Pinnacle is a building of major
proportions requiring tremendous attention to detail. The mechanics
alone are mind boggling to the average person.
There
are Elevators, Pumps, Lighting, Boilers, Water Softeners, Plumbing,
Valves, Sprinklers, just to mention a few. Then there is the people
factor – Staff, Residents, Vendors, Contractors, Service personnel,
Delivery people and so on.
What
follows is an extensive list of duties that must be performed by our
onsite managers.
This list does not include what is done at
the management corporate office such as financials, collections,
statements, accounts receivable, and accounts payable.
