Staying on top of preventative maintenance is important to both cutting maintenance costs and keeping current residents happy, but knowing just how to stay on top of things can be somewhat difficult. There is a lot to consider, to remember, and to worry about when managing a community of any size, and these small problems can often slip through the cracks of your knowledge bank. There are a few ways in which you can learn how to stay on top of your preventative maintenance, and be alerted to anything going wrong before it becomes a big problem. 

A few ways to stay on top of your maintenance are:

•    Hold regular inspections – Regular inspections of your residences and community areas can really help you to stay on top of problems that may be occurring. During this time, you are given a way to investigate the soundness of various structures, hear any concerns residents may have, and arrange for solutions to be accounted for, and the regularity of the inspection process can allow you to always stay a step ahead! 

•    Encourage concerns to be brought to you – Encouraging residents to bring any maintenance concerns to you right away can also be a big help in staying on top of your preventative maintenance. Providing contact information and responding promptly can let your residents know that they can always count on you to get the job done. 

•    Keep your team informed – Your maintenance team can also be a big help in keeping you on top of your preventative maintenance, and this is done by keeping them informed and encouraging them to investigate structures and keep in mind repairs.  With an extra set of eyes working to keep things in working order, staying on top of your preventative maintenance care can be made easy!
