One number hides everything a portfolio review should catch.
A vendor bids lower across your ten properties. Before you move it to the top of the stack, check what the bid excludes. Irrigation inspections gone. Plant replacement protocol missing. Storm response left to a verbal promise.
That lower number is not a discount. It is deferred cost arriving mid-contract at a worse unit price.
The guide in this post lays out how to normalize every bid to a cost per square foot per year, score vendors on six criteria, and require a written scope matrix before anyone gets selected. One of those criteria is documentation. Every visit, timestamped photos, a service report, delivered within 24 hours. Not a promise to start once onboarded. Demonstrated capability before you sign.
Green Image services commercial portfolios across Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade under one accountable standard, with line item pricing you can read and defend across every property.
If you are comparing bids right now, request a portfolio grounds assessment before the decision is made.
