Building components deteriorate and wear out with time and use. Planned maintenance is an asset management strategy to ensure buildings and their components function adequately, preserve the value of the building, satisfy legal obligations, and achieve best value in terms of built assets during the occupancy phase of the building. Our clients like to have predictable and stable year-on-year expenditure and we recommend a budget to be set and a structured plan for maintenance to be developed and implemented to help minimise unexpected defects and failures. Each schedule is tailored to the individual and takes into account the specifics of the property such as its age, construction and condition. A thorough inspection by our surveyor will identify necessary repairs, maintenance and renewal work. We can then forecast costs and provide a programme of works, typically over a 5- or 10-year period.
