Commercial Property Maintenance and Preventive Maintenance Programmes
Properties requiring ongoing scheduled maintenance offer better value to owners, investors and occupiers and improve building management. Undisciplined and unplanned maintenance of a building leads to potential failure of its systems and components and impacts the building's lifespan. The Commercial Property Maintenance and Preventive Maintenance Programmes at Quin Projects are customer-focused and based on the condition and use of the property as well as the needs of the client. Our services assist property owners, managers and building managers in the planning of maintenance activities, identifying potential defects and organising the work required to keep the assets in serviceable condition. We focus on proactive maintenance to avoid reactive repairs; however, in doing so, we advise clients of the required maintenance and repair works so that the client can prioritise and decide on the most appropriate course of action. We can create tailored maintenance plans based on the needs of an individual building and the issues it may have. Want to change your building maintenance programme? Let Quin Projects create a custom preventive maintenance programme that meets your needs.
Comprehensive Property Maintenance Services
We offer a range of maintenance programmes, from planning maintenance works and building inspections to asset upkeep and the coordination of maintenance tasks. Programmes can be tailored to meet a customer's priorities.
Planned Preventive Maintenance Programmes
Planned preventive maintenance aims to schedule inspections and maintenance activities to help avoid further deterioration of building components. Rather than waiting for a component to fail and then performing reactive maintenance, an interval should be determined for inspections and maintenance. The maintenance could then be prioritised and scheduled, based on the inspection results. Quin Projects can assist you to set maintenance priorities and schedule planned building maintenance. Activities may include inspecting and assessing the condition of building elements and determining when repairs may be required.

Building Maintenance Management
Maintenance management is understanding the combination of work to be done, the current condition of the facility’s assets, the order in which work must be prioritised and the constraints of the available resources. If not done in a structured way, neglected work can mount, requests to repair can go unrepaired, and controlling a maintenance budget can become difficult. The focus of our building maintenance management is structuring and organising the services required to address the property condition issues. We also focus on organising regular maintenance activities within the scope of the property management team.
Key Features
- Coordination of maintenance tasks and priorities
- Scheduling of agreed repair and upkeep activities
- Communication around identified maintenance requirements
Benefits
- Helps improve visibility of maintenance requirements
- Supports more organised work scheduling
Building Inspections and Preventive Repairs
Regular inspections often show the beginning signs of deterioration, such as flaking paint and delaminating finish, as well as interfacial leaks and component loosening. Addressing early signs of deterioration enables property managers to assess and prioritise threats to the building's functionality. Quin Projects can help to implement inspections and maintain the building within the agreed service scope. When the inspection identifies concerns outside the scope of the service, further assessments by a qualified professional may be necessary.

Building Maintenance Services and Specialisations
There are differences in maintenance demands on various types of properties. Our services can be tailored to meet the needs of residential, multi-residential and commercial properties, including shared and common property, building components and usage.
Commercial Building and Asset Maintenance
Commercial building and asset maintenance helps keep the building and its components in a serviceable and useful condition. External and internal finishes of a building, as well as its components, that show signs of wear and use may need maintenance. Building asset maintenance encompasses determining the condition of relevant assets and scheduling preventative upkeep or repairs. The specific tasks of maintenance vary depending on the type of asset, site conditions, recommendations of the manufacturer, and the servicing requirements.
- Planned maintenance for relevant building elements
- Identification of defects requiring corrective work
- Coordination of repairs and general upkeep
- Maintenance planning based on asset condition
Strata and Apartment Building Maintenance
Various elements of the building in a strata development are shared. These include external walls, balconies, common areas and facilities, and other areas controlled under the management arrangement of the strata title. Strata maintenance services assist building managers and owners' corporations in organising maintenance tasks and prioritising defects and in providing access for planned works.
- Common area maintenance and repair coordination
- Identification of visible defects in shared areas
- Planned upkeep of relevant building components
- Scheduling of agreed maintenance work
Facility Maintenance Services
Facility maintenance services assist in the upkeep of the building to its optimal functioning condition. Depending on the agreement, maintenance of shared services may involve general repairs of external building elements and internal finishes and other systems and services. Specific service providers may be required to undertake inspections and maintenance, depending on the nature of the systems and equipment, such as specialised electrical and mechanical services and fire safety systems. These should be incorporated in the maintenance plan as appropriate.
- Coordination of building-related maintenance activities
- Scheduling of inspections and planned work
- Identification of repair and upkeep requirements
- Liaison with relevant specialist contractors where needed
Preventive Maintenance Plans and Checklists
A preventive maintenance plan provides a method of recording the results of planned inspections, activities and maintenance. A checklist helps facilitate the completion of a preventive maintenance task, and a register helps plan maintenance activities and tasks over an extended period. The requirements of each building are different, so a standard, pre-prepared schedule should not be relied on. Priorities change, for example, with the completion of repairs or if a building’s usage changes.
- Development of practical maintenance schedules
- Checklists for agreed routine maintenance activities
- Recording and prioritisation of identified defects
- Review of maintenance requirements over time
