Preventive maintenance

Preventive and scheduled maintenance for commercial property

Reactive maintenance is the most expensive way to run a building. You pay a premium for urgency, you pay again for the damage the problem caused before anyone noticed, and you spend your own time managing it.

A scheduled program is the alternative. We walk the property on a set interval, handle what’s in scope, and tell you about what isn’t.

Why scheduled beats reactive

You control the timing

Work happens on your schedule, in your access window, at planned rates — not at 4pm on a Friday because something failed.

Problems get caught small

A door closer that’s drifting is a ten-minute adjustment. The same closer six months later is a damaged frame and a security complaint.

You get a paper trail

When you need to justify a capital request or explain a spend, documented findings over time are the argument.

Fewer emergency calls

Which is the actual goal, and the thing that shows up in your budget at year end.

What a program covers

Programs are built around the property, not sold from a template. A typical scope includes:

  • Walk-throughCommon areas, corridors, restrooms and the exterior approach.
  • Door, hardware and closer checkChecked and adjusted while we’re there, not written up for later.
  • Ceiling, wall and floor condition reviewIncluding anything that suggests an active leak or movement.
  • Fixture, accessory and signage checkThe details tenants complain about and nobody logs.
  • Minor repairs handled on the visitRather than becoming next month’s work order.
  • Written findings on anything out of scopeWith a recommendation and a rough cost.

Intervals

Monthly, quarterly or seasonal, depending on the building, the tenant mix and the traffic.

Small now, or expensive later

A door closer that is drifting is a ten-minute adjustment. The same closer six months later is a damaged frame, a security complaint and an emergency call-out rate.

Start with a walkthrough

We will walk the property, tell you what we would put in a program, and give you a number. No obligation to sign anything.
