Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) Survey
What is a Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) Survey
A Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) survey, also known as a Lifecycle survey, involves a comprehensive assessment of a building’s condition, which includes both fabric and mechanical and electrical (M&E) elements.
These surveys are crucial for building owners and occupiers. It helps identify potential issues before they become critical, allowing for proactive maintenance and repairs, that maximise the asset’s lifespan. Additionally, they assist in formulating investment strategies that outline necessary works, indicative costs and timing for repairs or replacements.

The Benefits of a PPM survey

PPM surveys allow property managers to forecast future maintenance costs, helping to allocate budgets more effectively and avoid sudden, high-cost repairs. - Extended Asset Lifespan
Timely identification and resolution of wear and tear help delay costly replacements and preserve the value of building components over the long term. - Enhanced Operational Reliability
By ensuring regular upkeep of equipment and infrastructure, PPM surveys minimise unexpected breakdowns and disruptions to business operations. - Informed Maintenance Prioritisation
PPM surveys provide a clear, risk-based overview of asset conditions, enabling maintenance tasks to be prioritised according to urgency and potential impact.
