Maintenance Programmes
By putting a BNE Maintenance Programme in place now, you could be improving the value of your investment for the future. You can also avoid the expense of having to deal with damage from secondary problems such as dry rot caused by leaks.
The BNE Building Surveying Team can prepare the best maintenance strategy for your premises. They will create an effective programme that deals with urgent defects immediately and address other work over a number of years to suit your cost constraints.
By preparing budget prices BNE will help you to spread expenditure and avoid peaks from unplanned reactive work. In addition they can tailor each programme so that it is exactly right for you – as a guide the BNE Maintenance Programme process generally involves the following:
The premises are inspected by the BNE Building Surveying Team and who will undertake a thorough examination of the internal and external fabric and, where necessary, a separate report will be obtained on the specialist services such as the mechanical and electrical installations, lifts and drainage etc.
Any outstanding works of repair or maintenance and decoration will be recorded and, where appropriate, incorporated within a planned maintenance programme which will be prepared in consultation with you.
Once the programme has been agreed, BNE will prepare a Specification of Works which is put out to competitive tender before overseeing and monitoring the works through to completion.
BNE regularly employ specialist contractors on their clients’ behalf to ensure that regular maintenance works are undertaken and the costs can be properly apportioned.
Where you have a responsibility for maintaining parts of the building fabric and external areas under the management provisions of a lease, BNE will advise on your liabilities and costs. Where necessary they will ensure that your programme is prepared in conjunction with the Property Manager for the benefit of both clients and tenants.
BNE also advise on appropriate maintenance cycles and ensure that any immediate maintenance needs are dealt with in conjunction with the property management team.
