What it's worth

It pays for itself three ways before it ever feels like savings.

FixGrid collapses the software stack, gives the site team back hours, and gets units rent-ready faster — including days cut from make-ready turns. Everything else — fewer emergencies, better renewals, a clean lender file — is upside on top. Run it on your own numbers; we show every formula. Then check pricing or the full platform.

Your portfolio, your numbers

The calculator the operator drives.

You supply the assumptions — door count, rent, turnover, the tools you already pay for. FixGrid does the arithmetic and shows it. Switch the lens to see the same inputs as the site team feels them, as the owner capitalizes them, and as a compliance officer weighs the risk.

Every formula is visible. Defaults sit at the bottom of each sourced benchmark range, so the number survives a CFO's scrutiny. Soft levers — retention, catastrophe, compliance — are upside on top, below.
The three hard levers

Lead with the math you can see.

These are the levers where the operator controls every input and the arithmetic is transparent. We anchor each on the bottom of a published benchmark range — conservative on purpose, so the number holds up in the room where budgets get approved.

LEVER 01

Consolidate the stack

One platform replaces the point tools you already pay for — a turns tool, an inspection app, a COI tracker, a CMMS, an SOP library. Replace even two and you're at parity-to-savings on software before a single hour is saved.

net software savings = tools replaced × ~$0.50/door/mo
Benchmark: à-la-carte stack ~$2.50–$4.00/door/mo
LEVER 02

Give the team back hours

Techs spend most of the day not turning a wrench — wrench time is only 25–35%. Put the work order, the unit's history, the asset, and the parts in one place on the phone and you recover minutes on every job that compound into hours every week.

minutes/WO ÷ 60 × work orders/yr × $33/hr

LEVER 03

Get units rent-ready faster

A vacant day is the unit's daily rent, gone. The turn board exists to take days out of every make-ready. At a 45% turnover rate, cutting even one day off each turn recovers more rent than FixGrid costs — and it's usually the biggest dollar of the three.

days cut × turns/yr × (rent ÷ 30)
Benchmark: best-practice make-ready 5–7 days
For the owner & asset manager

The site team feels it in hours. You feel it in asset value.

Multifamily is valued on income, so every recurring dollar of OpEx you cut or rent you recover doesn't just save a dollar — it's capitalized into the value of the asset. That's the reframe that gets FixGrid into the enterprise budget.

Value = NOI ÷ Cap Rate
At a 5.5% cap, $1 of recurring annual NOI ≈ ~$18 of asset value.
Worked example · 250 units · 5.5% cap
Recurring NOI improvementstack + labor + turn acceleration~$23.2k
Asset value createdrecurring NOI ÷ cap rate~$422k
FixGrid annual costProfessional, 250 units~$6k
Value created per $1 of spendasset value ÷ annual cost~$70
Disposition / refinance
Defend your value against the buyer's PCA.
When you sell or refinance, the other side's engineer flags deficiencies to chip the price. A complete, exportable maintenance record is the rebuttal — prove the flagged items were already addressed, and negotiate from evidence instead of conceding the framing. A single avoided price-chip can run into six figures.
CapEx & warranty
Push out replacement, capture what's covered.
Structured PM extends equipment life ~35%, deferring capital spend, while the asset registry holds warranty dates so covered repairs aren't paid out of pocket. Asset age plus history makes a defensible replace-vs-repair and capital-budget model — an owner deliverable, not a maintenance one.
Honesty guardrail. The multiplier is real but depends on the cap rate and on the savings being recurring and recognized. We anchor the owner number on the hard, recurring levers only — never on soft or one-time items — and let you enter your own cap rate. We don't headline a value FixGrid can't underwrite.
And the upside

Real, but harder to pin to one number.

These levers are where the bigger dollars often live — and exactly where an honest pitch refuses to promise a percentage FixGrid can't control. So we cite the industry benchmark, name the mechanism, and let you decide what it's worth on your portfolio.

Keep more residentsDirectional

Maintenance responsiveness is repeatedly cited as a top reason residents stay or go. The resident portal — real status, photos, a resolution note, rate-the-repair — is built to make maintenance a renewal asset.

Benchmark: resident turnover costs $3,000–$5,000 / unit
Avoid the expensive failureAsymmetric

The PM engine, leak logging, and utility spike-flags exist to catch the small thing before it's a $12,000 thing. Reactive repairs cost 3–5× planned — and one water event in multifamily touches many units at once.

Benchmark: a water event runs $10,000–$12,500 / affected unit
Stay in serviceRisk

A missed inspection isn't just a fine. An expired certificate can force the elevator out of service — and an out-of-service elevator is a habitability problem you'll hear about from every upper-floor resident. Grid Apogee makes sure the inspection happens before the deadline.

Benchmark: fines $5,000–$20,000 / unit, often daily-accruing
Survive staff turnoverFriction

When a tech quits, the building knowledge walks too. In FixGrid the asset history, the shutoffs, the SOPs, and the inspection record stay put — so the next hire is useful in days, not months, and your current team stops hunting across five apps. Saved isn't findable; one platform is.

Benchmark: turnover costs 50–200% of salary; ramp 6–12 months
The honest version of an ROI story

We don't just promise the return. We prove it back.

Competitors assert ROI. FixGrid is uniquely positioned to measure and display the realized number from your own data — because it already captures the inputs. The marketing claim becomes a monthly report your team can see, which is also what makes the savings underwritable for a lender or appraiser.

Every figure traces to a published benchmark.

The defaults in the calculator and the numbers on this page come from primary industry sources, applied at the conservative end. Your actual result depends on your portfolio — which is exactly why the calculator lets you drive.

All figures are industry benchmarks applied conservatively; actual results depend on the operator's portfolio. FixGrid cost basis uses the Professional plan ($99 base + $2.00/unit over 50).
