Basic principles for efficient building management and maintenance

There are several basic principles for managing and maintaining buildings efficiently that will preserve your property and prevent hazards and damage.

The way a building is managed varies depending on the building's purpose, usage, type of asset, size of the asset, nature of the business, equipment in it, number of employees, and more. For example, managing a hotel is very different in practice from managing a warehouse or a logistics center. Despite these differences, the basic principles for efficient management and maintenance are the same, and the goal is always the same - minimizing wear and tear, keeping the property in optimal condition, addressing hazards and preventing them.

Monitoring

Frequent and continuous monitoring is very important for the management and maintenance of buildings. Experts even recommend daily monitoring to ensure that all parts of the property, equipment, services, and facilities used by the building's occupants are safe and function properly. The parts of the property that require daily monitoring include: basic infrastructures (gas, water, electricity, and air conditioning), communication systems (security cameras), fire detection and suppression systems - smoke detectors, extinguishers and other security and safety devices, and facilities in the building (water tanks, planters, pipes, etc.). If a fault or problem is detected in one of the parts of the property, proper management, and maintenance of the property allow for quick and correct handling of the problem.

Documentation

Documentation is one of the most significant tools used for efficient management and maintenance of buildings. Documentation helps property owners protect the building from misuse, theft or crime, trespassing, and other hazards that may damage the property and its occupants. It is recommended to install security cameras in all public areas and consider installing them in hidden areas of the property as well.

Supervision

Supervision of the property is a necessary and crucial component of property management. It creates a clean and safe space, pleasant for its users. Thorough and consistent tracking, documentation, and monitoring will help the property manager supervise it, identify faults that require immediate repair, and anticipate damages that may occur to the property even while the tenant is on the premises.

In conclusion, monitoring, documentation, and supervision are key principles for efficient building management, and they can be applied to all types of properties. However, there are many variables that affect the management and maintenance planning and its precise characterization, so it is recommended and more appropriate to use the services of professionals who know how to identify and anticipate problems in all types of properties and businesses, and can ensure quick repairs and optimal property preservation.
