Response Times
The table below lists the targeted response times of the various priorities of FM service requests and classifications of work. Of course most clients would like all their work considered urgent or even emergency, but unfortunately we are not staffed to treat all of our work this way. We appreciate your patience and understanding. When Customer Relations representatives cannot reach agreement with a client on the priority of their service request, the matter will be elevated to the Customer Relations Director for resolution.
