Structural upkeep work
Building maintenance is the ongoing work of keeping a building functional, safe, and in good repair.
It covers routine tasks like cleaning, inspecting systems, and replacing worn parts, as well as responding to problems—fixing leaks, repairing HVAC units, addressing electrical issues.
