I’d like to send my personal thanks to the OMS team for their highly responsive servicing for many of our facilities maintenance requests. They have looked after our building’s preventative and reactive maintenance for several years now. We find them to be consistent, professional and accurate. We are very happy with the management and maintenance of our building, and am confident in recommending their services!
We take pride in the contractors we deal with and in the past we have had a considerable amount of problems trying to find a reputable company that can provide a high level of excellence to the work they do. We now use OMS for all our external building maintenance of the three towers which includes the window cleaning and high pressure building wash downs and we are very happy for their service. They are very professional in the way they operate from providing good communication about what is happening (eg: due to weather conditions changing), where they are up to in their work and anything important that may need to be reported. They are the first company to return to fix anything that may have been missed without any excuse or complaint and they provide the service with absolute professionalism. We would gladly refer OMS to any other building managers requiring a dependable, all-encompassing cleaning service.
I was very impressed with OMS and the team’s performance, from the initial meeting and throughout the whole service delivery… From the start, the team did not disappoint us and displayed the utmost competence and consistency in providing the services we needed. Our building is compliant and safe thanks to OMS!
