Building Warrant of Fitness, building compliance work, scheduled building maintenance or reactive building maintenance.
We understand the responsibility of managing commercial, industrial, public, communal and multi-unit residential buildings to ensure they are safe, healthy and durable.
And, because property management can be a minefield of unexpected work, compliance issues and surprising costs, we strive to keep it simple for you.
Through our Virtual Facilities Management (VFM) service, we manage everything to do with building compliance and building maintenance.
Based on the Building Warrant of Fitness, compliance schedules and the current state of a building, we put together a schedule of all subcontractors’ works, lock in prices and then deal directly with the tenants, contractors, or property managers to get the work done.
We deal with any reactive ad hoc issues property maintenance work that arises – through strong partnerships with subcontractors, we get things done properly and quickly.
And, we can draw upon the resources within Fosters Group for much of the non-subcontracted work, providing a quality service through our professional team.
