Norland Managed Services has developed a completely new and innovative planned 'whole-life' approach to the delivery of fabric maintenance which provides clients with a totally flexible solution.

Norland's Fabric Maintenance is a service and specification-led measurable approach which experience has shown provides cost savings and reduces reactive calls by 60-80%.  The approach also provides cost certainty through forward planning and maximising lifecycles.  This in turn maintains asset values whilst ensuring an optimum working environment.

Our solution includes:

• Full compliance with legislation.
• Development of agreed accommodation standards.
• Definition of work activities in terms of building fabric assets and infrastructure.
• Periodic fabric inspection walk-rounds with a focus on self-reporting and addressing fabric issues.
• Appointment and management of key specialist sub-contractors.
• Development of a forward plan to define CAPEX requirements for the building infrastructure and therefore increase cost certainty.

Traditionally building fabric maintenance has been delivered in the majority of UK buildings on a reactive basis.  Unlike other hard services there are no real industry standards to guide the provision and this has led to an ad-hoc approach.

Today more and more building owners and occupiers are realising the drawback of taking a reactive approach.  Failing to plan can reduce the value of key building assets, increase the cost of ownership/occupancy due to reduced lifecycles and increased dilapidation, and also increase costs.
