Ongoing and preventative maintenance is more than just hooking potential clients and generating new business. In truth, your current tenants’ peace of mind and wellbeing should be your main priority. This is because focusing on relationship-building and retaining tenants makes more business sense than constantly having to find new ones.
By allowing the initial problem to worsen, you’ll put yourself in the unenviable position of having to treat not only the symptom — such as peeling paint — but its underlying cause too. This could be anything from moisture buildup to bad workmanship. By using an expert in building maintenance services to administer an ongoing plan, you safeguard yourself against unnecessary expenditures in the future.

The state of your commercial building plays a pivotal role in a prospective client’s confidence in your business. For example, a senior professional attending job interviews is more likely to choose the company with a working elevator than the one that made them take the cracked, chipped stairs. Ongoing maintenance plans include minor property refurbishment and updates so your commercial building has the best chance of people leaving it ready and willing to use your services and spread positive word of mouth.
Architectural style is always in flux — what was once considered chic and forward-thinking can quickly become status quo. Older buildings that have been properly maintained stand a better chance of competing with the ‘new buildings on the block’, so to speak. Effective building maintenance services and property refurbishment can not only maintain a commercial building’s market value but can also increase it if the building happens to be in an area of interest and is well-maintained.
A dilapidated property is more likely to have structural hazards such as damaged walkways, potholed parking areas or faulty elevators. This increases the likelihood of somebody getting injured when on the property, as well as the subsequent liability costs against the managing company. By implementing an ongoing maintenance plan, you safeguard yourself against the financial and reputational consequences of having someone injured while on your site.
There are many commercial property maintenance companies out there who promise peace of mind through high-quality service delivery. But not all of them have the level of experience needed to deliver on these promises. The trick is to choose a specialist with a demonstrated portfolio of providing best-in-class solutions to commercial buildings over a long period in time.
