Planned and Preventative Maintenance
Maintenance of property portfolios is often low in the list of priorities, planned preventative maintenance is even more rarely considered.
Investigating and recording the condition of property can provide the basis to formulate and budget for the annual expenditure necessary to initially return the premises to a suitably repaired condition and to continue to keep it up to that standard; therefore, avoiding the often unforeseen, unplanned and difficult to finance, repairs which result from property which is left unattended.
Careful and correct analysis of building defects by an expert can often avoid time consuming abortive and ill considered remedies that frequently fail.
Major or minor defects either as a result of design, construction, or workmanship, create problems, annoyance, discomfort and loss of production to tenants, and often reduce the value of an investment. Investigation and rectification by a Building Surveyor, will prevent escalation and continuing deterioration and will restore the premises for the benefit of tenant and owner.
We investigate and record the condition of property using the latest technology and survey methods and implement cost effective planned and cyclical maintenance programmes.
- Condition survey to identify remedial works required in short term (1-5 years) and long term planning 5-20 years. Budget costs are included together with priority designation 1-4, for forecasting and budget allocation.
