Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) Surveys
Whether you are a diligent landlord, an initiative-taking tenant or a pre-emptive owner occupier, the production of a planned preventative maintenance survey (PPM) is a crucial aspect to any building owner/occupier. This report allows those responsible for its repair to plan and budget for the necessary works and ensure similar aspects of work are carefully programmed to ensure best value. We ensure we understand your brief clearly to ensure the report reflects your needs. Typically, reports of 5-10 years are the norm, however any duration can be produced to meet the requirements. The costs are set out in a detailed list of works split across various building types to ensure clear and concise recording. We also include additional considerations around improvements, energy considerations and landlord/tenant overlap through our extensive dilapidation’s knowledge. With our contract administration experience we can assist with delivering the necessary works in the future as required.
