If you’ve spent much of this week staring at your 2025 building operations budget looking for inspiration, we have a tip for you: If you don’t already have a planned maintenance agreement for Service support for your commercial, school or government offices, now is the ideal time to add that line item. Even if not originally budgeted, a planned maintenance agreement can save your operations team time and money throughout the year.:
Five key reasons a planned maintenance agreement is a savvy investment for your 2025 budget:
1. Developments in AI and Smart Buildings
With ever-increasing AI integration into facilities management, it’s beneficial to have a partner that understands how to use that data analysis and automation to your advantage. TD’s BrightBlue® advantage works with your existing Building Automation System (BAS) to provide insight into your system to efficiently diagnose and prioritize issues that arise.
2. Supply chain and parts shortages
Equipment failures and emergency repairs escalate costs and are the quickest way to blow your building operations budget. Though shortages affect all providers on a global scale, having a Service team that understands your equipment and diagnoses potential weaknesses early will help ensure needed parts are on hand before you suffer downtime.
3. Labor shortages
Labor remains a hurdle many employers continue to face. Securing skilled workers gets even more challenging with the changing 2025 construction landscape focused on data centers, semiconductor facilities and other megaprojects requiring specialized labor. Additionally, demand for employees with more digital skills, combined with an aging trade workforce counting the days to retirement, will force companies to look for building Operations and Maintenance partners that can aid in supplementing existing staff to fill required positions.
