The Hidden Cost of Traditional Outsourcing

A lot goes into ensuring a facility runs at peak performance—HVAC, electrical, janitorial, landscaping, parking, and more. While traditional outsourcing may seem like the most appropriate solution, having multiple vendors perform a range of services can create issues.

Traditional outsourcing obstacles:

  • Complicated contracts and billing
  • Inconsistent service quality
  • Disjointed workplace experiences

By outsourcing their services, traditional facility management firms often layer on more costs, provide less accountability, and operate with conflicting standards.

Did you know?
Nearly 78% of facility managers work with six or more service vendors, with some managing over 20. 1

Why Self-Performance Matters

Higher Quality, Lower Cost—No Middlemen Needed

Labor is the biggest cost in facility services. With traditional outsourcing, providers often subcontract their services, so you’ll end up paying markups and dealing with inconsistent labor standards. ABM Performance Solutions bypasses that entirely. With ABM Performance Solutions, your dollars go further:

  • More spent on skilled professionals
  • Less spent on layers of management
  • No hidden fees or pass-through charges

The result? A more motivated workforce that delivers consistent, reliable service—every day.

Did you know?
ABM self-performs up to 90% of their services across four billion square feet, every single day.

Strategic Subcontracting—When It Makes Sense

When clients need regional or specialty services, ABM works with pre-vetted partner firms that meet our exacting standards. Every subcontractor is:

  • Fully Insured and Licensed: Each subcontracting partner is required to maintain current licenses and comprehensive insurance coverage, ensuring they meet both legal requirements and our elevated standards for operational risk management.
  • Background Checked and Compliant: We conduct thorough background checks and ongoing compliance monitoring to verify that all subcontractors adhere to federal, state, and local regulations—as well as our own code of conduct and safety protocols.
  • Integrated into Our Reporting and Oversight Systems: Subcontractors are not treated as external vendors—they are fully integrated into our digital reporting platforms and quality assurance programs. This allows us to maintain real-time visibility into performance, compliance, and service delivery.

ABM Performance Solutions Account Directors oversee all work—self-performed or subcontracted—to ensure seamless execution.
