What This Service Involves
Repair & Preventive Maintenance covers the coordinated activities needed to move from an initial brief to clearly described site works, inspections and handover. The principal work areas include inspection and repair scheduling, leakage, damage and finish repair, and routine facility improvement. The appropriate sequence, materials, engineering input and contract responsibilities depend on the location, drawings, site conditions and the intended use of the building. Maintenance work benefits from condition records, prioritized defects, safe access, compatible repair materials and a schedule that minimizes disruption to building use. Repair outcomes should be inspected and documented.
