Why plan maintenance
Heating and cooling, plumbing, doors, lighting and life safety systems all wear. Regular checks extend life, reduce breakdowns and keep warranties valid.
Many failures start small, such as a dirty filter or a loose hinge.
Landlords and insurers may also require evidence of maintenance, especially for fire alarms and sprinklers.
What to include
Typical tasks cover HVAC filters and inspections, plumbing and drain checks, emergency lighting tests, fire alarm testing, door hardware adjustment, lighting replacement, caulking and touch-up painting.
Seasonal items include winter heating checks and spring cooling start-up.
A yearly review of the building by a qualified person can catch aging equipment before it fails, and helps you plan replacements in your budget.
Who does it
Some owners use in-house staff, while others contract it out. Specialized equipment and life-safety systems benefit from qualified people. HSM CM offers building maintenance as part of our turn-key services.
