Maintenance management
Your maintenance policy determines the entirety of activities for the upkeep of your building assets so that they can fulfil their functions properly.
The aim of maintenance management is to carry out maintenance at the right time so that this can be guaranteed.
Depending on the objectives of your maintenance policy, you can opt to outsource the maintenance to your building services on the basis of an obligation of means or an obligation to produce results. Whether it concerns the maintenance of the outer façade or a central-heating or fire alarm system, the maintenance work to be carried out is described point by point.
An increasing number of companies is opting for a performance contact, which does not stipulate obligations of means but rather obligations to produce results. What is key, for example, is the desired condition score of the components or the risk of disruptions or failure of components in relation to their current importance to the organisation.

OUR VISION OF
Company policy
The question is whether the maintenance is an end in itself, or whether it should revolve around the desired state, quality and failure risk of an element.
To this end, the importance of the components must be determined on the basis of the company policy and an ensuing maintenance policy, for example using the following criteria:
- Continuity: for important installations. Perhaps you have a computer centre that needs to operate non-stop
- Productivity: your employees need an indoor climate in which it is pleasant to work
- Aesthetics: for the unit of your Executive Board or buildings or divisions that welcome your clients, that need to keep looking good
- Conservation: for example, you want the trim to last for at least 40 years
- Cost reduction: you have certain buildings where you are satisfied with a minimum level of upkeep of the components of your building and installations
Starting from your vision of these criteria, maintenance and how you wish to carry out it can be considered, for example opting for fault-dependent maintenance (SAO), use-dependent maintenance (GAO) or condition-based maintenance (TAO).
