Building Maintenance
A full-spectrum approach to building maintenance, covering plumbing, electrical, carpentry, and general repairs to ensure seamless operations.
Scope of work
- Complete building operation
- Preventive maintenance planning
- Plumbing and drainage repair
- Carpentry and minor woodwork
- Lighting and electrical upkeep
- Handyman services
- Scheduled maintenance programs
Work is scheduled around how the building is actually used, so maintenance and repair cause as little disruption to daily operations as the job allows. Teams are supervised, and requests are tracked through a single account manager.
One call for the whole building
A building rarely fails in one trade at a time. A leaking washroom stains the ceiling below, the damp reaches a light fitting, and the fitting trips a circuit. Called in separately, that is a plumber, a carpenter and an electrician arriving on different days, each fixing their own part and each unsure who owns the rest.
Under building maintenance the same account holds all of it. Plumbing and drainage repair, lighting and electrical upkeep, carpentry and minor woodwork and general handyman work are scheduled together, so the ceiling is dry before the paint goes on and nobody has to coordinate the order.
Scheduled visits or call-outs
There are two ways to buy this work, and they suit different buildings. A scheduled programme puts planned visits for each trade on a calendar, which suits an older building that produces faults steadily. A call-basis arrangement covers each trade for a fixed period and sends someone when the building calls, which suits a newer or quieter one.
Both are offered. One call-basis arrangement we have quoted covers six trades for a private office for a year. Which one fits depends on how many faults the building produces in a month, and we can say that after the first site visit rather than before it.
Why small faults get expensive
A dripping tap, a loose hinge or a flickering tube light each cost very little on the day they are reported. Left on a list for a season they become a stained wall, a door that no longer closes and a corridor with no light, and the repair now involves three trades instead of one.
The point of a preventive schedule is to deal with these while they are still small. It is also the part of building upkeep that is easiest to postpone, because nothing has visibly broken yet, which is why it works better as a standing arrangement than as something somebody remembers to ask for.
When a building changes hands
A change of tenant or owner is the usual moment to find out what condition the building is really in. A first visit across plumbing, electrical, carpentry and finishes gives a baseline: what is sound, what is worn, and what needs doing first.
From that baseline the work can be planned in an order that makes sense, with the urgent faults done now and the rest set into the schedule instead of arriving as a surprise later.
When buildings call us
- Repeat call-outs across different trades are adding up
- Nobody currently owns the building’s maintenance schedule
- Plumbing, lighting and carpentry issues are each going to a different vendor
- A building has changed hands or tenants and needs a maintenance baseline
- Small faults are being deferred until they become expensive
Before you call
What does complete building operation actually cover?
Plumbing and drainage repair, lighting and electrical upkeep, carpentry and minor woodwork, handyman work, and the preventive schedule that keeps those from becoming emergencies.
How is this different from calling each trade separately?
One account manager holds the whole building, so a fault at the boundary between two trades does not become the facility manager’s problem to coordinate.
Do you produce a maintenance plan, or only respond to faults?
Preventive maintenance planning is part of the scope. Scheduled programmes are built around how the building is used.
