What is Maintenance Management? How do we handle it?

 

Berkeley Square House

Maintenance Management (MM) is the process of providing specialist knowledge, assistance and support services to those who have a responsibility and/or requirement for ensuring that the vertical transportation systems and processes within their property(s) comply with statutory requirements and operate with maximum efficiency, effectiveness, availability and safety during the core operating times of the businesses and people to whom the equipment is provided. This may be for a single lift or a national portfolio of properties with extensive and varied assets. Whatever the size, number or location, Dunbar & Boardman will tailor the scope of support services to meet these specific objectives and budgets and provide access to our wealth of knowledge, experience and resource to demystify this essential and often critical building function.

Managing and controlling the risks and costs associated with unplanned equipment failure, statutory compliance, the performance and scope of services contracted and delivered by the maintaining contractor. In doing so we are able to obtain optimum life and reliability from the equipment while ensuring that all stakeholders achieve maximum return from their investment and satisfy user expectations throughout the evolution of a property.

Dunbar and Boardman have been implementing MM projects for over 30 years and have refined our processes in that time. What is our approach? Our support services can include;
