Planned preventative maintenance

A planned preventative maintenance (PPM) strategy shifts property management from reactive repairs to informed asset planning by identifying defects, lifecycle liabilities, and statutory or operational risks, and prioritising works by urgency, impact, budget, and client objectives. Our building consultancy experts provide landlords, estate managers, and corporate clients with actionable insights to protect asset value, ensure regulatory compliance, and manage their real estate portfolios effectively.

Planned preventative maintenance services

Condition surveys

Our specialist teams conduct comprehensive condition surveys and maintenance audits for single assets, estates, or large portfolios, helping owners to make informed maintenance decisions and tackle minor defects early, preventing costly building failures.

Prioritised maintenance schedules

Prioritised maintenance plans help asset managers understand which critical repairs to address first and which routine ongoing maintenance needs to be scheduled. We can create prioritised schedules to identify immediate actions, year one, years two to five, and longer-term works.

Budget, forecast and reporting

Our specialist consultants deliver guidance on budget cost estimates, contingency advice, and lifecycle replacement planning to provide clients with long-term financial understanding. We also offer detailed capital expenditure planning and forecasting, and professional client reporting on planned preventative maintenance, ensuring board members can confidently approve funding.

Risk management

We can conduct risk assessments to identify hazards early and ensure compliance with key safety regulations. This includes identifying statutory, safety, and operational risks across roofs, drainage, fire interfaces, and building services.

Procurement and operational support

We can manage the specification and tendering of estate maintenance packages, select trusted local contractors with the necessary expertise and experience to complete works to the highest standard, and secure competitive rates.

Specialist fabric-first advice

For estates, portfolios, heritage assets, and complex buildings, a structured maintenance plan can reduce emergency expenditure, protect the historic fabric, support insurance and compliance, and give owners clearer visibility into future capital commitments. Our experts provide specialist fabric-first guidance for the care of traditional, listed, and heritage buildings using historically appropriate materials and sensitive repair methods to protect the structural integrity and architectural value of older properties.
