What is a preventive maintenance plan for a condominium?
It is an organised schedule of inspections, servicing and follow-up intended to find defects before costly failure.
The plan lists equipment, manufacturer instructions, service contracts, required checks, certificate validity and incident history. It may include elevators, pumps, gates, lighting, fire systems, cameras, roofs and water systems.
Frequency must follow the law, applicable standards, manufacturer, qualified supplier and actual condition. Documented rounds reveal recurring patterns and allow costs to be planned rather than handled in a crisis.
Sound management distinguishes routine work, a service-provider visit and an inspection reserved for an authorised professional. Each system should have a file, next due date, responsible party and open-defect status so that warranties and required work are not lost.
Three points to check
- Technical inventory
- Inspection and service calendar
- Recurring-defect tracking
