The Q4 Preventative Maintenance Checklist Every Facility Manager Needs

Most facility failures in Q1 are not surprises — they're deferred Q4 maintenance. The roofs that leak in February were flagged in October. The rooftop units that lock out in January were running on a frayed contactor since summer.

Our preventative maintenance teams work a 23-point checklist across HVAC, roofing penetrations, exterior drainage, plumbing isolation valves, life-safety devices, and door hardware. Each finding lands in the client's asset register with a photo, severity, and recommended remediation window.

The result is fewer after-hours calls, lower insurance friction, and asset records that hold up in a sale or refinance.
