Applications

Access Planning for Commercial Building Maintenance

A contractor might need to inspect a deteriorating façade on a 30-storey office tower. A facilities manager could be coordinating glazing replacements while hundreds of employees continue working inside the building. Concrete repairs may need to be completed without closing pedestrian access or disrupting nearby businesses.

Applications

Preventative vs Reactive Maintenance: Looking Beyond Repair Costs

A leaking façade rarely starts with water pouring into the building. More often, it begins with something small. A deteriorating sealant. A crack that's easy to miss. Materials that have slowly weathered after years of exposure. For a while, nothing seems wrong. The building continues to operate, tenants go about their day and the issue stays hidden. Until it doesn't.
