Our Approach

Every organization can benefit from a “fresh look” at their people, places, and processes. We start by listening—understanding your unique operational challenges, financial goals, and vision for success. Then, we collaborate with your internal teams to deliver practical, data-driven strategies that boost efficiency, control costs, and support long-term scalability.

Helping You Achieve Your Business Goals

We partner with business leaders and facilities teams to enhance operational efficiency, strengthen team performance, and support long-term sustainable growth.


Our approach starts with listening to truly understand your challenges and goals then working alongside your team to deliver practical, lasting solutions.

About Us

Many small to mid-sized companies operate with minimal facility management support—relying on stretched teams or informal processes to keep things running. While this may seem efficient, it often hides costly gaps in operations, compliance, and employee productivity. From vendor mismanagement to maintenance delays, these blind spots quietly erode time, money, and team effectiveness.

"I had the privilege of attending the Facilities Management Professional classes with Jerry DiCola over the past four months, and I cannot recommend him highly enough as an instructor and industry expert. Jerry brings decades of experience and comprehensive knowledge to facility management education, establishing himself as a true authority in the field. What sets Jerry apart is his exceptional ability to adapt his teaching approach to diverse learning styles and experience levels within the group. He skillfully balances comprehensive content delivery with interactive collaboration, ensuring that every participant's background and insights contribute meaningfully to the collective learning experience. This inclusive approach transforms classroom sessions into dynamic, enriching discussions that benefit everyone involved. Jerry's instruction extends far beyond theoretical concepts—his real-world expertise translates directly into practical, applicable skills. I've already begun implementing strategies and techniques from his coursework in my professional responsibilities, which speaks volumes about the immediate value and relevance of his teaching. Perhaps most notably, Jerry possesses a rare combination of deep technical expertise and genuine interpersonal warmth. His approachable nature and authentic interest in each student's success creates an environment where learning feels natural and comfortable, encouraging open dialogue and meaningful engagement. I would absolutely welcome the opportunity to continue learning from Jerry in future courses and recommend him without reservation to anyone seeking to advance their facility management knowledge and skills."

"I had the pleasure of working with Jerry for a little over 3 years at Horizon Therapeutics where I transitioned from Front Desk to Facilities Administrator under his management. Jerry is particularly well-versed in managing complex projects both long-term and short-term, guides Leadership to favorable strategic decisions, and most importantly, lead his team that ensured exceptional performance that resulted in satisfied employees while also increasing our own skills.  What stands out the most about Jerry is his work ethic, which highly influences the rest of the crew, and his deep commitment to the professional growth of his team members as well as the company. He is always open to ideas, provides constructive feedback, and above all else, extremely approachable.  Jerry is an exceptional leader and will bring the same level of excellence to any role. I am confident in him, not just as a figure of management, but as a mentor as well."

He prioritized sharing his wealth of information while managing and maintaining the priorities of the company. I grew as an administrator directly because of Mr.DiCola and would highly recommend him.

"Jerry (the enabler) is one of my first mentors. I met him through IFMA in Chicago. Through kindness and patience, Jerry enabled me to become a better speaker, perfect my leadership skills and become overall a better person. Jerry has always impressed me with the level of professionalism he brings to everything he does. Whether it is networking, daily job functions, extracurricular or family- Jerry brings this amazing energy and really opens up so many opportunities for people. One of the most amazing things I learned about Jerry is how much he devotes his life to education and teaching. As a life long learner, I applaud Jerry for giving his gift of teaching to the world in more than one aspect. I know he has done so much for his inner network but has consistently increased his community outreach as well. It is humbling for me to have such a strong professional successful entrepreneur as my life coach and guide. I strongly recommend working with Jerry!"
