Time Is Money

Property owners and managers often underestimate the importance of decision making in timely and adequate manner. Exterior maintenance is mostly seasonal activity and it is extremely important to make decisions and funds ready just in time to make maintenance efficient.

Maintenance schedule and budget better to have pre-approved for at least one year term ahead to achieve proper maintenance result, accountability and control. Long term maintenance plan is even more beneficial for Strata Corporations.

Is the Exterior Maintenance expensive?

A statement “Maintenance is Expensive” definitely required some correction. Everything cost money but good exterior maintenance company able to fit virtually budget and safe your money by utilizing effective maintenance management approach.

Property owner need to remember the service cost is poor indicator of service quality – cheep is generally bad, and high cost is not always means good.

Wrong Decision

ibowest — Mon, 14 Mar 2011 05:53:54 +0000

“Exterior maintenance could wait” – By deciding that, property owners easily lead themselves into the trap. Differed maintenance is not just a simple summary of postponed maintenance operations, but multiplied on extension ratio, which makes outstanding maintenance twice more expensive than regular one.

By not doing proper walls or windows cleaning you, simply, accelerate process of building deterioration; make further cleaning difficult and expensive or impossible.
