History

HISTORY

Advance Management, Inc., is a full service building maintenance, management, and real estate services company. We provide integrated facilities management for clients throughout Guam, Saipan, and the U.S. mainland.

Owned and operated by a management team based in Guam, AMI has served the island's community for more than 20 years.

Employing 300 professionals across Guam's medical facilities, military facilities, hotels and resorts, schools, golf courses, retail stores, outlet malls, corporate offices, and more, we have built a diverse portfolio and a broad range of expertise unrivaled by any local company.

Our extensive portfolio and long history of excellent performance in Guam and Saipan served as the foundation for our expansion into the U.S. mainland. As one of three service contractors jointly awarded a $100 million Multiple Award Service Contract by San Diego-based Naval Facilities Engineering Command Southwest in 2011, AMI will provide services at Navy facilities throughout Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, and Utah.

In continuing to actively compete for mainland service contracts, AMI was recently awarded a $15 million custodial services contract by Naval Facilities Engineering Command Mid-Atlantic, as part of a joint venture with ACEPEX Management Corporation, a defense contractor based in Montclair, California. AMI fulfilled services for Naval facilities in and around Norfolk, Virginia, sustaining the company's long history of growth.

As part of our growth we participated in the SBA’s 8(a) program specifically for Socially Economically challenged businesses. Through Mentor-Protégé relationship with highly professional facilities maintenance business, AMI was propelled in its professional business posture managing huge Federal contracts from San Francisco to the above mentioned Norfolk Virginia. Etc.


AMI was founded on the concept of the "one stop shop," which allows property owners-including corporate, government, and military clients-to call one number to obtain services ranging from full property management to renovations, repairs, mechanical services, electrical services, HVAC services, custodial services, landscaping and grounds maintenance.

Our style of integrated facilities management was modeled on the methods and operating principles of Japanese building maintenance companies. In conducting initial research in Japan, we found this model of management and maintenance to be extremely effective. We have applied these operating principles to the Guam market for the past 20 years, and they have proven widely successful.

For ten years, AMI has provided quality services that enable U.S. Naval Hospital Guam to earn and maintain accreditation with the Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Health Care Organizations, along with the JCAHO's Gold Seal of Approval. AMI is the largest local supplier of janitorial, housekeeping, and custodial services to the U.S. military on Guam, performing custodial services for island-wide Naval facilities and the island's Department of Defense Education Activity schools. The majority of Government of Guam's Department of Education schools are under AMI's care, along with the Guam International Airport, TakeCare Clinics, and numerous private sector clients that are essential to the island's tourism industry.

Our long record of success has only reinforced our dedication to quality care for our clients, and we remain committed to providing our customers with the best in integrated facilities management.
