Let’s face it, building maintenance can be dull.

It is a drain on finances, and it is often difficult to see the benefit.

However, failure to maintain buildings can have disastrous consequences and reactive or emergency maintenance can be very expensive and disruptive.

Our surveyors have an intimate knowledge of building construction, component failures, material life cycles and maintenance costing. The aim of using this expertise is to extract more value from building maintenance budgets and minimise or avoid peaks in building repair expenditure through planned building maintenance.

TFT don’t claim that this will make the topic more interesting, but it will avoid the pitfalls and headaches that result from ignoring proper and targeted building maintenance.

A thorough review of the maintenance needs, procurement methods and legal compliance issues, followed by detailed financial planning can flatten out the expenditure curve. By providing a full service to specify, tender and manage the maintenance works, our surveyors can help clients preserve and perhaps enhance the value of their assets.
