Planned Maintenance Programmes

For a Landlord, owning a property can be fraught with unexpected costs which may cause significant financial strain if not suitably managed. The most practical solution to avoid a significant expenditure and to minimise the deterioration of your building is to be proactive rather than reactive. A Planned Maintenance Programme can be vital in enabling an owner or management company to clearly identify those works required in the short term and to plan for capital expenditure in the future.

Planned Maintenance Programmes

When undertaking a planned maintenance programme Anderson Surveying & Project Management Ltd would generally provide the following:

Detailed site inspection of all parts of the building to identify and record the condition of the structure including the building fabric, structure and services both internally and externally.
Preparation of a costed maintenance schedule detailing the anticipated year in which items of repair are required to be undertaken, usually over a period of 10-15 years.
Budget costs for recommended works to enable funds to be collected, saved and managed and a more accurate forecast of expenditure to be put in place.
Assist the client in ensuring a building and its value are retained to the highest possible level.
Recommendations and requirements highlighted to ensure compliance with current statutory requirements.
Provide potential significant cost savings in undertaking a Planned Maintenance Programme compared to the cost of emergency repairs and possible resulting damage
