Facility maintenance plans

A comprehensive facilities maintenance plan starts with custom planning. 

Each facility is different and its needs will vary based on the type of business, amount of building occupants and/or visitors, and the actual facility components. 

Once your list of services has been completed, managing them in a cost-effective manner is the next important step. While each of these jobs can be outsourced individually through independent contractors, it can become an overwhelming task to keep track of who’s doing what and when and how much all of this labor and materials will cost. A faster, more cost-effective option its  trust in a single company that provides complete and custom facilities maintenance services that can tackle all these diverse components. By contracting Us!, you save time and money.  PRO Renovation and Design should be that one company!

Our capacities give us the freedom of executing project of various sizes. From small personal projects to building mega project  of grand scale.

The Commercial Scope

Lighting

To keep your lighting in good condition, make sure to:

• Check the exterior lights to ensure there are no torn cables and make sure all screws and hardware is in place and working properly
• Replace gaskets for a watertight seal
• Inspect lighting fixtures regularly
• Clean lens surfaces and dust lamps to improve lighting
• Make sure every lamp has the same color temperature
• Safely store used bulbs (because lighting elements could contain lead or mercury) until a certified vendor can remove them
• Replace burned-out lamps

HVAC

To preserve indoor air quality and preserve energy efficiency, you must make sure your HVAC system is up to date. That means inspecting the system at least twice a year with seasonal start-up and run inspections and recharging P-traps or U-bend water traps for condensate drain pans. It’s also important to look for latch or screw updates, missing screw replacements, and gasket repairs that need to be made. You should also:

• Clean and replace air filters at regular intervals
• Inspect couplings and check for leaks
• Lubricate pumps once a year and inspect for unusual noises
• Buy coil cleaner (if you can reach the condenser coil) and wipe it off
• Inspect the settings for energy efficiency, especially the compressor, refrigerant charge, and thermal expansion valve periodically
• Disassemble screens and access panels in cooling towers for inspection, including the sump and spray nozzles, support structure, fill valve, fan blades, tower fill, gearbox, drive coupling, and motor bearings
• Clean the starter and cabinet and inspect the wiring
• Check motor starter contacts for wear and efficient operation

Electrical

To keep your electrical equipment in working condition, electricians recommend checking outlets, breaker boxes, wires, batteries, switches, and other electrical components at least once per year to ensure there’s no cracking or corrosion. Replace any batteries that need replacing and keep circuit boxes, grilles, and electrical storage free of dust, dirt, and debris. Performing all of this maintenance regularly can extend the life of your equipment.

Plumbing

Maintaining your plumbing systems requires following these guidelines:

• Check and replace refrigerant and oils
• Inspect couplings to detect any leaks
• Check fixtures in public restrooms and look for potential leaks
• Check boilers and water heaters
• Check contacts for wear and regularly run system tests
• Look at sump and sewage pumps at least once annually
• Lubricate water booster and circulation pump systems

Bathrooms and Kitchens

Keeping the bathrooms and kitchens in great shape means getting inspections to discover damaged tiles, malfunctioning soap and paper towel dispensers, cracked or missing grout, and faulty hardware. If the company occupying the building handles food, get a general contractor to touch up the grout and caulk and inspect them every year before your inspection.

Interior

For optimum fire safety, doors and windows should be checked every year. Keeping the building as clean as possible can help ensure minimal wear and tear. Consider investing in a cleaning service that can do the floors, windows, bathrooms, and more.

Schedule carpet cleanings once every four to six months to remove allergens and to keep the place looking as professional-looking as possible. Clean the walls regularly and repaint them as necessary to enhance the building’s overall appearance. Hire a pest control expert to inspect the place routinely to prevent infestations before they occur or address them as soon as they do.

Exterior

Ensure the exterior of the property, including the roof, stays in good condition throughout the year. You can do that by performing a little preventative maintenance on it, just like you would the rest of the home. Exterior maintenance includes:

• Inspecting the roof at least twice per year (and after any serious storms)
• Clean the roof drains of debris
• Clean surfaces in parking garages twice per year (coating replacement every 10 years)
• Clean out the gutters
• Examine the sheet metal, copings, and previously repaired sections when walking the perimeter
• Check for wrinkles or tearing on roof-to-wall connections and flashings
• Conduct a moisture survey to find leaks
