For companies or leasers that own large buildings, building maintenance can seem daunting, costly, or even superfluous, particularly when building functions appear to be running smoothly. But proper and consistent building maintenance is imperative for a number of reasons. Buildings inherently function less effectively over time due to natural causes such as climate, daily occupant use, mechanical obsolescence, and more. When left unresolved, these issues can devalue user experiences, create dangerous and unhealthy environments, and even incur costs higher and more sudden than consistent building maintenance costs.
The scope of building maintenance ranges from the most minute details to the most essential functions. Some functions, like washing windows, seem inconsequential but can have enormous influence on presentability and worker happiness. They are also imperative to delegate to other companies because of the need for specialized equipment and additional workers. In other words, though minute, they necessitate significant work and attention.
