Property Maintenance

Property maintenance may involve a number of individual companies and/or service economic services including a property management company, who may look after the entire estate or land of properties, single family homes, apartment buildings, or other properties which need maintenance or repair for one company.

In turn, the management company would employ the services of one or more individuals and/or companies to provide the required property maintenance services. Thus exposing the myth of the 1:5:200 ratio relating to initial cost, maintenance and staffing costs of office buildings.

The services which could be classed as property maintenance have a wide range and could include many sectors of the maintenance, repair and operations industry such as maintaining wood finishing, air conditioning, plumbing, electrical rewiring (licensing may be needed), roofing, locksmiths, flooring, glazing, Renovation or refurbishment.

The retail industry in particular makes a high usage of property maintenance services, particularly reactive maintenance (also known as response maintenance) since their stores, and in particular flagship stores require the highest standards of maintenance in order that customers continue to purchase goods. If the maintenance of the store is left to lapse then the retail chain often lose trade due to their image being degraded.
