What We Do
We deliver a fixed-price, comprehensive audit of your existing maintenance system and critical assets, followed by executive-level briefing and full-team training — from C-suite to technician.
You receive a documented baseline, a prioritized reliability roadmap, hard-dollar ROI projections, and a forward cost curve you can defend in any boardroom.
Your technicians receive clear routes and procedures they can execute daily.
One engagement. Measurable profit protection and operational readiness that lasts.

The Impact
Unplanned downtime is the silent profit killer in plants and DCs. We baseline motors, pumps, gearboxes, conveyors, and air systems, then hand leadership a dollar-for-dollar ranking of what’s actually costing money and a reliability program that raises MTBF, cuts emergency spend, and gives your floor team clear daily routes instead of endless fire-fighting.
A single compressor failure on a Friday night can wipe out a week’s margin in spoiled inventory and emergency service calls. We audit your refrigeration racks, walk-ins, and cases in one day, isolate the 20 % of failure modes that cause 80 % of your risk, and deliver a fixed-price roadmap plus technician training that keeps every location cold, compliant, and profitable — all summer long.
Tenants don’t renew and energy bills explode when HVAC systems run inefficiently or fail during peak seasons. Our audit covers chillers, cooling towers, boilers, AHUs, and BAS controls, delivering executives a forward cost curve they can defend, a prioritized capital plan, and technician-level procedures that keep every floor comfortable and every lease intact.
Vacancies climb and reputation tanks when AC fails in August or boilers die in January. We audit RTUs, boilers, circulating pumps, and common-area systems, then provide ownership a clear picture of current risk, future spend, and a turnkey reliability program plus training that ends move-in week panic and keeps residents renewing.
1. Manufacturing & Distribution Overview
ANCHOR RELIABILITY & READINESS
Manufacturing & Distribution Vertical
From emergency POs to scheduled precision – protecting production without the chaos.The Challenge
Unplanned downtime from a failed pump or conveyor can halt a shift, costing $10k–$50k in lost throughput. Reactive maintenance leaves teams firefighting, with no baseline to justify budgets or predict costs.Our Audit Focus (One-Day Quick-Start™)
- Rotating equipment: Motor bearing vibration (>0.3 in/sec), coupling misalignment (>0.005"), gearbox oil ISO (>22/20/17).
- Process systems: Pump cavitation (ultrasonic 8–12 kHz), steam trap failure (open/closed), hydraulic fluid condition (dark/burnt).
- Conveyors & blowers: Belt sheave wear, roller bearing temp (>180°F), air compressor aftercooler approach (>20°F).
- Electrical: Panel hot spots (>15°F delta), spare parts inventory gaps.
- Safety/Compliance: PPE usage, emergency exits, machinery guards.What Leadership Gets
A criticality ranking with $94k–$127k/yr savings forecast, MTBF baseline (e.g., from 18 days to 94+), and capital plan for high-risk assets.What Technicians Get
Prioritized daily routes (e.g., "Yellow: Monitor – vibration 0.2–0.3 in/sec"), hands-on training for root-cause analysis, and backlog tools for efficient scheduling.Fixed Pricing
Quick-Start™ Audit: $4,900 | Full Blueprint™: $9,800–$14,800.Lucri Defensor – Protector of Profit.
2. Grocery & Convenience Stores Overview
ANCHOR RELIABILITY & READINESS
Grocery & Convenience Stores Vertical
Turning refrigeration breakdowns from weekend disasters into predictable profit protection.The Challenge
A single compressor failure on a Friday night can wipe out $5k–$20k in spoilage and lost sales. Most stores run reactive—cleaning coils only after the call comes in, leading to emergency repairs and inconsistent temperatures that scare off customers.Our Audit Focus (One-Day Quick-Start™)
- Walk-in coolers/freezers: Compressor discharge temp (>30°F over design), evaporator superheat (<6°F or >20°F), suction pressure fluctuations (>5 psi).
- Rack systems: Condenser approach temp (>20°F), sight glass bubbles/flashing, oil levels (low/dark).
- Cases & RTUs: Fan motor amps (>RLA), evaporator coil icing/dirt, economizer stuck (closed/open).
- Leak checks: Ultrasonic for refrigerant (45 dB+), cabinet integrity, condensate trays.
- Statutory compliance: F-Gas leak tests, EPA 608 alignment.What Leadership Gets
A baseline report with $18k–$84k/yr savings projection, forward cost curve for budget defense, and ROI from targeted tasks (e.g., quarterly coil cleaning payback: 36 days).What Technicians Get
Laminated routes with thresholds (e.g., "Red: Act now – superheat <6°F"), 4-hour training on vibration/thermal scans, and quick-reference cards for daily checks.Fixed Pricing
Quick-Start™ Audit: $4,900 | Full Blueprint™: $7,900–$11,900/site.Lucri Defensor – Protector of Profit.
3. Commercial Office Buildings Overview
ANCHOR RELIABILITY & READINESS
Commercial Office Buildings Vertical
From tenant complaints to triple-net stability – keeping HVAC as reliable as your leases.The Challenge
A chiller short-cycle or RTU failure spikes energy bills by 20–30% and triggers complaints that hurt renewals. Without a baseline, leadership can't justify upgrades or predict OPEX.Our Audit Focus (One-Day Quick-Start™)
- Central systems: Chiller approach temp (>5°F), chilled-water delta-T (<design by >3°F), cooling tower fill scaling (>3°F rise).
- AHUs & RTUs: Mixed-air damper stuck, VAV actuator hunting (>5°F deadband), condenser coil delta-T (>20°F).
- Boilers & pumps: Stack temp (>350°F), pump motor bearing (>170°F), BAS trend short-cycling.
- Air quality: Outside air intake (>CO2 800 ppm), mist eliminators clogged.
- Energy/Compliance: Garage ventilation, fire damper linkages, preventative maintenance logs.What Leadership Gets
A forward cost curve showing $31k–$218k/yr savings, efficiency audit for LEED/ASHRAE compliance, and prioritized upgrades with 3–10x ROI.What Technicians Get
Threshold-based routes (e.g., "Orange: 30–90 days – delta-T <3°F"), 4-hour BAS training, and laminated cards for coil cleaning/defrost schedules.Fixed Pricing
Quick-Start™ Audit: $4,900 | Full Blueprint™: $12,500–$22,000.Lucri Defensor – Protector of Profit.
4. Multifamily & Apartment Communities Overview
ANCHOR RELIABILITY & READINESS
Multifamily Communities Vertical
From move-in panic to zero-call summers – ensuring comfort that keeps residents renewing.The Challenge
AC failures in August or boiler outages in January drive vacancies and $10k+ repair spikes. Without audits, owners lack the data to predict seasonal costs or justify budgets.Our Audit Focus (One-Day Quick-Start™)
- RTUs & boilers: Compressor superheat (<10°F/>30°F), relief valve leaks, circulating pump cavitation (ultrasonic).
- Common areas: Domestic hot water (>130°F scald risk), make-up air damper stuck, pool heater stack (>450°F).
- Systems: Elevator room temp (>95°F), trash compactor hydraulic leaks, parking exhaust fan belt slip.
- Compliance: Lighting contactor pitting, emergency generator battery fault lights.
- Tenant safety: Condensate management, floor heating, alarm reviews.What Leadership Gets
A baseline report with $22k–$163k/yr savings projection, vacancy-risk forecast, and ROI for high-impact fixes (e.g., quarterly RTU checks payback: 41 days).What Technicians Get
Daily routes with thresholds (e.g., "Red: Act now – hot water >130°F"), seasonal training, and quick-cards for defrost/evaporator checks.Fixed Pricing
Quick-Start™ Audit: $4,900 | Full Blueprint™: $12,500–$22,000.
