Effective building maintenance is crucial to the success of any business. In the most basic form, adhering to the legislative standards for building maintenance not only ensures the safety and wellbeing of all occupants, but ultimately is a key obligation of all business owners and directors.
Beyond this, effective and proactive building maintenance which utilises British Standards such as SFG20, and indeed SFG30 during the pandemic will reduce disruption for business in terms of asset failures, reduce ongoing repair costs, lengthen the lifespan of assets reducing capital costs and ultimately improve the wellbeing and experience for your building occupants.
