This perspective enables the management and front-line team to appreciate the priorities the owner has set forth, which may lessen their frustration when work cannot be scheduled as planned.Begin developing your plan with an assessment of the productivity of the building yo

9、3)Understanding the level of deferred capital investment; 4)Measuring complaint levels and the backlogs of work. At my organization, these standards are audited by a third party at random times of the year.Results are reported back to the team and deficiencies are addressed. Tenant satisfaction is u
10、sually measured by a third-party survey which gives the property teams feedback to help them improve.Equipment Reliability The reliability of your equipment can be measured by calculating average equipment downtime, time between equipment failures, maintenance overtime percentage, training reliabili

Monitoring capital-intensive systems like central plants and rooftop units is critical to their preservation.Operations Contrli The control of you
12、r operations can be measured by calculating the percentage of direct work conducted by the owners team, the percentage of supervisory hours required to operate, the teams performance against standards, work schedule compliance, and the ratio of manhours used for planned and unplanned work. The indiv

As such, should there arise a case of breach, negligence or malpractice, a Management Corporation which employs an in-house management team may be rendered liable for such acts of it

On the other hand, the legal position of the Managing Agent is that of an “independent contractor”.Metrics like these best enable a manager to determine man-hours needed to maintain an efficient operation. Additionally, the allocation of
15、 staff or contracting out for a specialized craft, like HVAC, may be achieved by understanding the results. Calculating such metrics by hand can be time consuming.It has been my experience that measurements are most effective when a Computerized Management Maintenance System (CMMS) is in place and b

You will begin developing a master plan after you have established key assessment measures that are meaningful to your owner, and to the size and sophistication level of your portfolio. Identifying key measures will enable the team to define a starting point, prepare a master plan that is meaningful for the team and help the team measure and celebrate success. The master maintenance plan should cover the organizational, syste
