Your buildings maintenance plays a crucial role in establishing smooth business operations at every facility. Businesses that can’t (or don't want to) take care of their physical assets will look to outsource maintenance work.
The most common reasons to outsource maintenance activities are:
- there is just too much work for the internal team
- it makes no sense to keep a full-time employee for a specialized task that needs to be carried out occasionally (like hiring a full-time plumber)
- the organization lacks specialized knowledge or tools to perform certain repairs
- in certain situations, maintenance contractors could be more cost-effective
- the organization finds it simpler to just outsource everything
