Facility Maintenance

Choosing a Facility Maintenance strategy?

Facility Maintenance is done on a day to day basis to increase the Uptime of assets and utility of Facilities.  The three critical goals of facility maintenance will be

  • Maximize the assets utilization
  • Reduce the recurring maintenance problems
  • Minimize the facility down time.

Extending the longevity of these assets helps us in

  • Savings in OPEX and CAPEX
  • Enhance profit margins
  • Increase ROI for your organization

Deferred maintenance

With the limited budgets we have today, it is tempting to delay general maintenance system upgrades and repairs in a building. The thought to defer the spend to a future budget cycle or even postponing them indefinitely goes on in our mind. Deferring maintenance may seem like a viable cost saving measure. However, the reality is this can result in a significantly greater expense in the large run.

This is because repairs quickly become replacements. The greatest issue with deferred maintenance is that this increases the repairs scope and the cost as we keep delaying the maintenance.  We have to realize that the facility is still subject to daily use and abuse by occupants. Over a point in time, repair turns into replacement because in the process of being deferred.  This results in staff productivity also as replacement takes much longer to complete than repairs do.

Deferring maintenance frequently for minor problems into major system failure. The cost of deferred maintenance could potentially be 30 times that of early intervention. According to experts, 2% to 6% of annual operating budget should be spent on preventive maintenance in order to effectively manage a facility – the rate of decay

Not doing maintenance on time will reduce mission critical building operations, company image, tenant retention, energy efficiency and employee morale. Procrastinating preventive and routine maintenance will only lead to building failing permanently.

Let us discuss the maintenance services that Qatar Choice can do for you. 

Are you thinking of how you can improve your maintenance activities?

Anyone who manages the facility have to ensure 100% uptime of assets and utilization of facilities Let us look at an example on the impact of a HVAC failure can have.

  • A possibility of losing 10% of repeat customer footfall in a mall. Revenue loss of the tenants in the mall
  • Maintenance cost and a potential opportunity loss that could have been avoided
  • Potential productivity losses of employees in an office

 How amazing would it be if a system could alert you of a failure/ downtime ahead of time?

Civil

Are you concerned with the structural strength, the aesthetic look and possible damage to life and property?

Civil structures deteriorate over time. The issue begins with external plastering, concrete and include Structural, Peripheral, Moisture movement, Permeability of concrete and hairpin cracks to name a few. These damages that may seem to be small can cause significant damage to the structure if not attended to. This may lead to the collapse of the whole/ partial structure. However, preventive maintenance of civil structures ensures that the structural integrity is maintained.

Automation

Do you wish to automate the repeated tasks performed by your manpower to cut down the operational expenses and avoid human errors?

Every organization would have a set of recurring maintenance and routine preventive tasks. Automation schedules maintenance and minimize manpower involvement and ensure guaranteed performance.
