Topics you need to Know About Building Maintenance Responsibilities
When it comes to building maintenance responsibilities, behind every properly maintained building there is a team of highly-skilled maintenance technicians in multiple areas including Handyman, Electrical, HVAC and Plumbing services. More specifically, maintenance technicians must:
- Inspect existing systems to actively seek out problems
- Prioritize tasks and juggle multiple projects
- Work to keep the building’s systems “like new”
- Typically work a varied schedule of 40-60 hours a week
- Are frequently on-call for unexpected or emergency repairs
Maintenance techs have many responsibilities and it takes quality preparation to become a skilled technician. The problem with this approach is little issues quickly become big problems. And what may have been a reasonable repair suddenly becomes a major overhaul. That’s why it’s so important to ensure you have a team in place, ready to tackle any task, big or small.
In addition to having prepared and highly-skilled maintenance technicians there are few topics you need to know about Building Maintenance Responsibilities. Let’s check some of them.
Building safety:
First and most important topic, the well-being of the people who spend time in your building is of utmost importance. That’s why preventive and continuous maintenance must be carried out in your office building.
Legal Obligations:
Landlords must make reasonable repairs to keep the property in habitable condition.If a repair is necessary because of a tenant’s neglect or abuse, the landlord can charge the tenant for the cost of the repair. A landlord must make sure all plumbing, heating, electrical, gas and supplied appliances are in working order. If a tenant is responsible for paying their own utility bills, then it is the tenant’s responsibility to pay their bills so that their services, such as electricity and heat, are not turned off.
Cost Efficiency:
Did you know it can cost double, or even triple, to repair the preventable damage? One of the biggest benefits of implementing preventive maintenance is that you’re more likely to stay ahead of problems before they occur and it will cost you less to do preventive maintenance.
