When do you need a Planned maintenance & major works plan?
This service is crucial for property owners, managing agents, and Residents' Management Companies (RMCs) looking to proactively manage their building's upkeep and financial planning. It's particularly important for blocks of flats where reserve funds need to be established or reviewed regularly.
What happens on the day
A qualified surveyor will conduct a comprehensive inspection of the building's exterior, interior communal areas, and main structural components. They will document their findings, assess the condition of various elements, and gather information needed to project future maintenance costs.
How to prepare
- Provide access to all communal areas and the roof if safe.
- Share any previous survey reports or maintenance records.
- Inform us of any known issues or concerns with the building.
- Clarify the desired timeframe for the maintenance plan (e.g., 5, 10, 30 years).
- Advise on any specific budget considerations.
How to improve your result
- Start a reserve fund early to accumulate funds for major works.
- Implement a regular preventative maintenance schedule based on the plan.
- Review the plan periodically to adjust for unforeseen issues or new regulations.
- Communicate the plan clearly to all residents or stakeholders.
Why it is useful day to day
Having a planned maintenance schedule provides financial foresight, ensures the building remains well-maintained, prevents costly emergency repairs, and helps to protect property values.
Why we ask these questions
We ask about the age, construction type, and previous maintenance history of the property to understand its likely wear and tear patterns. Knowing about any known defects or upcoming projects helps us tailor a more accurate and relevant maintenance plan.
