The objective of a Preventative Maintenance Inspection is to guide our clients through the budgeting, planning, and execution of maintenance inspections, repairs and replacements, and prevention of unnecessary catastrophic repair expenses. A Preventative Maintenance Inspection offers a more preventative approach to building maintenance by having a property inspection followed by repair estimates. Neglecting maintenance items can have disastrous consequences, such as disrupting operations, harming productivity, and even contributing to customer and employee dissatisfaction. Prevent these consequences by having a preventative maintenance inspection customized for your building and business type that fits your budget and time constraints.

Forecasting and planning for expenses are the most important reasons a company needs to consider a Preventative Maintenance Inspection. However, there are always surprise maintenance issues; many problems that develop in a commercial building are avoidable and even preventable. Our Preventative Maintenance Inspections are a great way to outsource the salary cost of a maintenance or facilities personnel. The inspection benefits small businesses needing guidance in maintaining their buildings, like doctors’ offices or daycares, but don’t have a maintenance worker on staff.
