In this episode of Straight Talk!, industry expert Gordon Buntrock with ABM explores one of the most overlooked but costly gaps in the built environment: The disconnect between those who design buildings and those who clean and maintain them.
Architects, facility managers, and cleaning professionals all play critical roles in how a space performs over its lifetime, yet collaboration often happens too late, after the maintenance challenges have already been baked into the structure.
This episode takes a practical, ground-up look at what’s truly at stake. Whether you design buildings or maintain them, this conversation offers a blueprint for bridging the gap and creating spaces that look better, last longer, and cost less to care for.
