If your building is more than 20 years old?..then
Consider the engine room for the various services in your building; what state of repair are they in? Are there maintenance contracts in place? And do these maintenance companies perform an effective job?
What are the costs directly and indirectly of the failure of a major item of equipment? How much of your equipment is obsolete and consequently expensive to repair/replace or modify?
We know that you know that you are aware of all these parameters and can easily access the information via your web server and print it out at a moment’s notice.
We know you are receiving “bang for your buck” on ll your service agreements, and all of them have sustainability objectives ensuring indirect accountability for improving the overall sustainability performance of your building.
Do you know your expected costs?
Consider the next five years; are you aware of the costs for repairs and/or replacement for obsolescent or “end of life” major plant equipment in your commercial property?
- Can you save money and reduce downtime and/or breakdown frequency?
- Do breakdowns affect the reputation of your building?
- Are lease negotiations adversely affected by maintenance issues?
- Is the cost of repairs escalating?
- Is the corrective maintenance budget difficult to control?
- Are there potential costly legal issues from personal injury or loss of income from tenants which can be attributed to maintenance/repairs?

Scheduled Building Maintenance Services.
Do you have a specific scheduled maintenance plan in place for your facility?
Will your maintenance plan consider obsolescence, breakdowns, life terms and eventual replacement?
There are two favoured strategies; “run to fail” and an asset maintenance plan.
“Run to Fail” does have advantages, but as a generalization, it will cost more in both direct and indirect costs. The indirect costs are often paid from different budgets but will still have an adverse effect on the overall return for the building.
Indirect costs are costs resulting from reduced energy efficiency and reduced performance of the asset over time.
The reduced performance of an asset may increase call-outs and repair costs and reflects upon the tenants in terms of more complaints, shorter retention, lower rent and the reputation of the building.
Office tenants talk to each other, and prospective new tenants will often ask existing tenants about the performance of the building.
An effective asset maintenance plan will extend the life of the asset, reduce indirect costs and improve value.
Reduce or Mitigate the Risk.
You need a team who have the knowledge and expertise to deliver successful and legislative-compliant results for your building, including compliance for local government, workplace health and safety, and Australian standards.
Strategies that will save money include ensuring legislative compliance, routine maintenance, asset documentation and monitoring (measurement and verification), attention to warranty obligations, and continued diligence.
Does this sound expensive?
Not performing main plant maintenance has a higher cost and a higher risk, but its often delayed. The costs are, at times, indirect, such as in the reputation of the building, which has an effect on rental income.
