Buildings

About Buildings 

Buildings represent individual structures or functional spaces under a site. Buildings can be further subdivided into multiple locations. Each location typically refers to a specific area within a building. This is especially useful when there are multiple locations within a building as it helps direct technicians directly to the precise location they need to be. 

Another factor to why we seperate sites to buildings is each building will typically have different insurances, fire safety regulations and compliance. 

Locations 

Locations are specific areas or rooms within a building where assets, maintenance tasks, or activities are carried out. Locations help pinpoint the exact spot for operations, make it easy for tenants/staff to log requests and for maintenance staff to find the precise location of their task. 

Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) 

Within the building module, you can view and manage all Planned Preventive Maintenance (PPM) schedules for that specific building. This includes routine tasks like inspections, cleaning, and servicing of critical assets such as HVAC systems and fire equipment. You can also add or update new PPM tasks from here.

Assets 

Within the building module, you can view all assets associated with the building, such as HVAC systems, electrical equipment, plumbing, and safety devices. You can easily add new assets here, ensuring that all relevant components are tracked and managed efficiently.

Contacts 

Building contacts refer to key individuals or organizations associated with the management, maintenance, and operations of a building. This may include facility managers, security personnel, front desk staff, owners/tenants, and emergency contacts. Maintaining up-to-date contact information for these individuals ensures quick communication and coordination for routine tasks, emergencies and compliance requirements.

Documents 

Documents and images can be attached to building records to provide essential information about the property, its assets, and operational procedures. This may include building diagrams, compliance documents, evacuation procedures, floor plans, and maintenance instructions.
