Mission

County FIRM

County FIRM (Facility Investment Retrofit Maintenance) is a trusted partner of CCAO Service Corporation, offering owner representative services to counties embarking on facility retrofit construction, new builds, or capital planning for their County infrastructure. With a team comprised of experts in general contracting, HVAC contracting, equipment distribution, and building technology, County FIRM delivers invaluable industry knowledge to ensure the success of projects like HVAC installations, courthouse upgrades, jail improvements, and more.

Unlike vendors, County FIRM doesn’t sell or install equipment. This unbiased approach prioritizes the counties’ best interests while offering expert consulting services. By combining industry insights with technical expertise, we empower our member counties to achieve the best possible outcomes in both technical and financial aspects of their facility projects and planning.
