NAVIGATING FM THIS SUMMER FOR PROPERTY & MAINTENANCE MANAGERS

 

 

 

Summer is well and truly here, and it’s time to ensure your facilities are well-prepared for both the warm and cold seasons. At Dovetail Group, we understand the importance of proactive management during the summer. Let’s delve into key issues and projects to focus on this season to maintain smooth operations and maximise efficiency.

GET STARTED

KEY THINGS TO KEEP ON TOP OF THIS SUMMER.

1. HVAC System Maintenance: Ensure your HVAC systems are ready for summer by scheduling regular maintenance to clean filters, check coolant levels, and inspect for issues. This keeps occupants comfortable and with the rising costs, minimises energy waste. 

2. Roof and Building Inspections: Use the clear weather to inspect roofs and buildings for damage. Addressing issues like cracked shingles or leaks now can prevent bigger problems during autumn and winter.

3. Grounds and Landscape Care: Keep grounds attractive by mowing lawns, trimming bushes, and watering plants. Proper landscaping enhances curb appeal and provides a safe, inviting environment.

4. Pest Control Measures: Implement pest control measures to prevent infestations from ants, mosquitoes, and rodents. Seal entry points and remove standing water sources.

5. Fire Safety Checks: Ensure fire safety equipment is in top condition by testing alarms, inspecting extinguishers, and reviewing evacuation plans. Educate staff and tenants about fire safety protocols.
 
6. Energy Efficiency Enhancements: Explore energy-saving initiatives to reduce utility costs and environmental impact. Upgrade to LED lighting, install programmable thermostats, or improve insulation for better energy efficiency.
 
7. Emergency Preparedness Review: Update emergency response procedures and contact lists. Ensure everyone knows their roles during emergencies and conduct drills to practice evacuation and safety protocols.
