In addition to our property management services, Morlin also provides two value added property management services - engineering and construction management.

ENGINEERING

Morlin’s property management approach is to think and act like the property owner.

To make certain everyday operations at a building are conducted with the highest efficiency, the property managers work in conjunction with our in-house engineering staff on a daily basis. Our certified building operations engineers continually evaluate each property to assess maintenance and operational efficiency. They also conduct property inspections and provide information essential to compiling due diligence reports.

Their findings become another important tool that each property manager uses to forecast expenses and develop the best value enhancing strategy for your property.

Issues our engineering staff address include:

• Energy control and efficiency
• Life cycle cost analysis
• Safety, ADA, and other code compliance requirements
• Security system effectiveness
• Existing maintenance procedures
• Preventive maintenance options
• Daily logs/reporting
• Certified technicians (HVAC)

CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT

Maximizing the value of your property often includes construction. Morlin provides comprehensive construction management services for renovation, retrofit, and tenant improvement projects. Morlin's services address all issues important to a successful construction project, including:

• Minimizing disruption to existing tenants and building operations
• Setting realistic, attainable budgets and schedules
• Monitoring of both the established budget and construction progress schedules
• Obtaining competitive bids for all aspects of the work
• Providing on-site supervision
• Following through to project close-out

Since the Morlin Team is intimately familiar with our owners' properties, it is advantageous to the owner that we provide the construction management services directly, rather than through a third party, to assure a quality product is achieved.

SEISMIC DAMAGE EVALUATION AND REMEDIATION

At 4:31 a.m. on Monday, January 17, 1994, a 6.8 level earthquake tumbled through the San Fernando Valley. The devastation spread across 76 square miles. It wasn't long before President Clinton declared Los Angeles, Ventura, and Orange counties disaster areas.

In the days that followed, Morlin performed damage surveys, managed claims and began directing repairs at several properties.

Surprisingly, significant damage was exhibited by the steel frame and moment-frame connection structures. As a result, a new type of construction service, "Steel Moment Frame Connection Building Repair," was created that would repair structures to resist damage in similar future seismic events.

Morlin Management is a proven leader in the field of Steel Moment Frame Building Repair. For the Saint John's Medical Plaza, our professionals managed the $3.5 million seismic retrofit, minimizing costs, expediting repairs and maximizing tenant retention.

We can assess damages to your building using the City of Los Angeles' mandatory testing procedures. This testing can be conducted in a fully occupied, after hours setting to minimize tenant impact. Repair and restoration designs are produced based on the detailed documentation of the extent and characterization of the damage.

Morlin supplies the expertise and manpower to efficiently and cost-effectively retrofit your property, minimizing tenant impact. We facilitate all aspects of the work including: demolition work, electrical and mechanical relocation, supervision of welding crews and replacement of existing tenant finishes to the exacting standards your building deserves.

The result: a building that is "'better than new."
