Maintenance

We monitor the contractors service delivery, prioritise works required, and check contractor visits, workmanship and also monitor daily call outs and repairs. The monitoring of contractor performance ensures that the client receives compliance to the contract, best value and best practice.

We provide technical and contractual documentation that insures quality of workmanship and that the correct equipment is installed.

Our quality checks mean less downtime to disrupt the clients business and reduce call-out costs, with the reduction of repeat calls.

With our help, clients improve the level of service and responsiveness from the contractor as well as reducing their overall annual spend.

Monthly meetings with our clients and the maintenance provider to review the current maintenance provisions are essential, these meetings review contract compliance and prove invaluable for the smooth running of the maintenance contract.
