BSCAI sat down with Trevisani to discuss his career and the lessons he's learned along the way.
BSCAI: What are some trends you see developing in the building service contracting industry?
Frank Trevisani, BSC: Our industry, due to the past pandemic, will finally get its due. For too long we were considered a commodity and not considered an intricate part in cleaning for health. What we do every day has a direct effect in keeping a healthy environment. We cannot and should not compromise cleaning. Another trend I see is that deep cleaning will be the norm and spot cleaning a thing of the past. Touch points will be an integral part of daily cleaning along with disinfecting as either a daily function or an additional service once proper cleaning is done. We should now push "The Value of Clean" as today's norm.
