Posted by MDSBuilders on September 26th, 2016

Real estate is the cornerstone of the development of any city. You can measure the development quotient of any city with the extent of real estate facilities available in the city. Maintenance of these facilities is as important as the construction of these facilities. Hence, there is great importance for companies that can offer facilities maintenance services. Every developed city has such companies in good numbers. We shall now look at some of the main activities of a facility maintenance company.

• Regular preventative maintenance programs: In a well-developed apartment complex, the residents have a right to avail the best of services. There should be no dearth of essential services at any point of time. Hence, there is a requirement for carrying out preventative maintenance programs at regular intervals in order to ensure that every facility is perfect in all respects at all time. Regular conduction of these programs is the main activity of the facilities maintenance companies.
• Planning for contingency - The queer thing about any disaster is that it can strike at any time unannounced. However, that does not mean that you should be unprepared to face the situation. Having a perfect contingency and disaster recovery plan in place would go an extent in mitigating this problem.
• Power supply maintenance: Any well-developed residential complex should have uninterrupted power at all times. Hence, it is always better to have alternate arrangements in place in times of emergency. It could be in the form of an alternate grid arrangement or maintaining a solar power plant to cater to such emergencies.
• Security aspect: The residents of such apartment complexes have a right to proper security for all the twenty-four hours. The facility maintenance company should have the necessary labor force at its command to provide adequate security to every resident at every time of the day or night. There should be no access to any unauthorized person inside the complex. There is a need to install CCTV equipment at strategic locations. Proper manning facilities should be in place as well.
• Landscaping: A residential apartment complex should have adequate landscaping arrangements in place to take care of the aesthetics angle. There should be an adequate maintenance of the lawns, roads, pavements, fountains, and so on. In cold countries where there are chances of snowfall, there should be excellent snow removal services as well.
• Overall maintenance: This overall maintenance includes every aspect of the maintenance. This includes the masonry, electrical, plumbing, janitorial, and other services. Garbage removal is another major aspect of these facilities maintenance. Usually, the preventative maintenance aspect should take care of such minor issues. However, you never know. Any emergency can come up at any time. Help and assistance should be available for all the twenty-four hours. Such residential apartments would be having escalators and lifts as well. They require adequate maintenance at regular intervals. Maintaining cleanliness is an important aspect of such endeavors.

Conclusion:

Constructing and providing excellent amenities is one aspect of development. Maintenance of the same is the complementary arm. They have to work together in a cohesive environment.
