• Stay on top of building maintenance!

  • Keeping up with building maintenance can help manage costs in the long run, and smart building managers will have a crew frequently surveying the structure with utility carts to see if there is anything that raises alarms. Even when trying to keep buildings in good condition, time can cause wear and tear, which is why frequent monitoring is important.

    According to Facility Executive, having a preventative maintenance program in the building can go a long way. It should be a two-step process; the first of which is the inspection, where the maintenance crew assesses the structure to see if there are any issues and then the execution phase, which is used to take care of any problems.

    The news provider reports that preventative maintenance can save both time and money, as letting the problem persist can lead to a more costly fix.

    It’s not just the inside of the building that should receive routine checks; managers will also want to pay attention to any issues on the exterior. According to Buildings.com, roofs should be checked at least twice a year and anytime following a severe storm. Not only should maintenance crews check for any wear and tear, but they should keep the roofs clear of debris or anything that could be blocking drains.
