Why building asset management is crucial for cladding maintenance

Make sure your building retains its value by keeping on top of your cladding maintenance as part of a clear property asset management plan.

Cladding maintenance isn’t simply something you need to tick off your building repair ‘to do’ list. In fact, regular and necessary property repairs have a big part of play in your business’ value.

What is building asset management?

Your building is one of the largest assets your business owns. It’s of huge value, not just in structure but in what it allows you to do: run a successful business with a secure premises that’s safe for staff and appeals to your audience.

Naturally, over time your building will deteriorate. As that happens, it loses its value – so if you were to sell your building today without cladding maintenance repairs, it would likely be worth a lot less than if your property were properly maintained.

Why is building asset management important today?

Asset management isn’t just the buzz phrase of the moment. In fact, it’s vital for you to carefully consider, especially if you’re in a facilities manager or property manager role. It’s likely that you’ll need to show some commitment to asset management knowledge, training or understanding, perhaps by studying for and attending CPD seminars.
