Customized Facility Asset Management Programs

Inspec builds enclosure asset management programs: asset inventories, prioritized sequencing, capital budget input and recurring reviews for building owners.

Building Maintenance Programs

Building maintenance programs help building owners and managers proactively protect their building envelopes. Inspec’s tailored programs extend system life, reduce repair costs, and support long-term maintenance budgets—year after year.

Our team performs regular envelope checks, offers proactive planning strategies, and delivers expert guidance tailored to each facility. Furthermore, these services are ideal for commercial buildings, schools, healthcare campuses, and public infrastructure. As a result, property owners benefit from increased reliability, reduced emergency repairs, and improved long-term performance.

What Is a Facility Maintenance Strategy?

A facility maintenance strategy is a proactive system for monitoring, maintaining, and improving the building enclosure. It provides year-round insight into the condition of roofs, walls, windows, and waterproofing—helping managers detect issues early, control budgets, and plan effectively for the future.

Common questions

How is this different from a facility condition assessment?

A facility condition assessment documents condition at a point in time. An asset management program uses that information as a starting point and keeps it alive: assets are tracked individually, priorities are re-ranked as conditions change, completed work is recorded, and the funding plan is updated on a recurring cycle rather than reissued as a new standalone study.

Which building elements can the program cover?

Enclosure assets are the focus: roof areas, exterior walls and cladding, windows and curtain wall, sealant joints, plaza and terrace decks, and below-grade waterproofing. Each element is tracked separately so a single building can carry several assets with different conditions, different priorities and different renewal timing rather than one combined rating.

Does Inspec perform the repairs identified in the program?

No. Inspec is a consulting engineering and architecture firm. We inspect, test, investigate, design and advise, and we do not perform repair or roofing work. Recommended sequencing reflects the condition of your assets and your budget constraints, and repairs are carried out by contractors you engage separately.

Can a program cover several buildings at once?

Yes. Programs are commonly built for portfolios so that buildings can be compared on a consistent basis and work can be sequenced across the group. Assets in each building are inventoried and ranked using the same criteria, which makes it easier to allocate a limited annual budget across multiple properties.
