Maintenance

The benefits of Planned Preventative Maintenance are well known, however the differences in quality of lift maintenance and scope of items included can vary widely from site to site.

Given that the cost of such maintenance over the life of a lift installation can often exceed the original capital cost of the lift it is essential that the building owner procures the best value for money in selecting and employing a suitable maintenance contractor.

The Robin Primrose Partnership can review existing contract arrangements to ensure that charges are reasonable and that the scope of maintenance contract suits the lift type and usage for a particular site. Where appropriate, new maintenance contracts can be negotiated or tendered on the owners’ behalf to provide optimum servicing arrangements at the best value.

To maximise the economic life of lift plant and minimise interruptions to normal service resulting from unplanned maintenance it is crucial that the necessary PPM activities are properly and punctually carried out. The Robin Primrose Partnership can provide appraisal reports to ensure that maintenance schedules are being accurately followed.
