BUILDING MAINTENANCE
As a rule, repairs and maintenance to a building are performed as the need arises. This suggests that remedial action occurs only when components breakdown, fail or deteriorate leaving no other option but to undertake expensive repairs. These incidences are usually a financial surprise but are also costs which may have been avoided altogether if one had actually projected the building's repair and maintenance requirements.
We propose that a professional inspection of the buildings would strike a fine balance between doing the right amount of maintenance thereby avoiding unnecessary work. The object of this would be two-fold:
a) to predict, plan and budget for medium and long term maintenance
items.
b) to determine, if possible, the likely savings to annual maintenance
costs by using a more planned approach over the present system. This
might be achieved by attending to items sooner than later.
ITEMS TO CONSIDER
a) building structures (above grade)
b) roofs and any external building elements
c) floors and ceilings
d) below grade structures (ie.) foundations, etc
e) building services:
i) electric
ii) plumbing
iii) heating & cooling
f) miscellaneous
OBJECTIVE
The object would be to produce a maintenance plan that would cover a specified period of time that would meet the objectives described in the introduction.
COST
The fee per inspection could be as little as $650 or as much as $1,200 depending on the scope and depth of our investigations and reporting method.
