Maintenance Programs for Small-to-Medium Sized Buildings: Tailored to Your Needs!

Properly maintaining a smaller building is within the reach of its owner or landlord. You don’t have to own a large property to have access to a well-rounded preventative maintenance program. 

Regular preventive maintenance is key to ensure smooth operations and prolonging the lifespan of your building’s infrastructure. At OneContact, we recognize the various needs and requirements of diverse businesses. We aim to provide customized Commercial Maintenance Programs designed to meet each client’s specific circumstances and objectives. 

Here are three key points you should consider when preparing your commercial maintenance program:

1. How old is your building?

When it comes to property maintenance, it is crucial to consider the age of the building you are tending to. An aging building presents a set of challenges that requires high maintenance and frequent repairs. Current light fixtures may not provide adequate lighting for your spaces. Inefficient energy consumption can significantly increase maintenance costs. With the increased use of computers and electronics throughout a building, a poor electrical system may induce shortages. Frequent plumbing problems such as leaky faucets, slow-draining toilets, and rusting pipes may persist. The older the building, the more maintenance will be needed to continue smooth operations and minimize unprompted repairs. 

2. What type of equipment does your facility need?

A recognition of the equipment present in your building is essential in order to tailor the maintenance program effectively. Different types of equipment and their purposes have specific maintenance protocols and schedules. For example, a printing shop or a beauty salon in a strip mall have their own specific equipment and requirements.

3. How do you want to approach repairs?

Repairs can be addressed through a reactive or a proactive approach. A reactive approach takes prompt actions when issues arise. It often results in increased disruptions. Conversely, adopting a proactive approach entails conducting routine inspections, identifying issues in advance, and promptly addressing them before they escalate into substantial problems. This proactive strategy serves to minimize unforeseen breakdowns while facilitating improved planning and budgeting for necessary repairs. With a commercial maintenance program, you can adopt a combination of both approaches that works best for your building. 

Prevent costly and time consuming nightmares from occurring! A well-planned commercial maintenance program takes into consideration the unique needs of a building. At OneContact, we carefully assess factors such as the desired maintenance type, frequency of maintenance visits, specific equipment present in the building, and the preferred approach to repairs.
