The difference between a well-run commercial portfolio and a struggling one is rarely the buildings themselves. It’s whether maintenance is planned or reactive.
Three levels of maintenance
- Reactive — fix things when they break
- Preventive — scheduled work to reduce breakage
- Predictive — data-driven work informed by diagnostics
Where to start
The starting point is always a baseline. You cannot plan maintenance for a building whose condition you don’t know. A structured building assessment produces a written picture of what’s there and what it needs.
Frequently asked questions
- What does a preventive maintenance program cost?
- Typically 1–3% of building value per year, versus 3–5% for buildings on reactive-only care.
- Who owns the program?
- We do — while keeping the property manager or facility team fully informed.
