Development of asset & maintenance planning pays great dividends in ensuring your assets remain in good shape for the entirety of their life, as well as holding their value & reducing long-run maintenance costs. Paul & the team at Summit Consultants specialize in developing programs for existing assets, upgraded assets, & pre-project planning. Our planning structures help avoid failures, reduce costs, assist in compliance, & maintain asset warranties.
We assess your building’s mechanical systems, such as HVAC, pumps, domestic water piping, and boilers, to determine their current condition, performance, and remaining life. This provides you with a realistic, data-backed overview of what’s working and what needs attention.
In British Columbia, new strata buildings are covered under the 2-5-10 home warranty program. During the first two years, builders are responsible for the proper functioning of plumbing, HVAC, and related systems. Today’s systems are more complex than ever, often involving digital controls, sequencing, and specialty components. We help ensure they are maintained properly during the warranty period, preventing coverage from being voided due to neglect or improper care. We also help clarify the often-blurry line between what qualifies as a warranty defect versus a maintenance item, so you’re not left relying on a contractor’s interpretation.
We create detailed scopes of work that define exact service intervals, performance standards, and system-specific tasks. This ensures nothing is overlooked, and contractors are held accountable to a clear standard.
We manage the RFP process for selecting qualified HVAC and plumbing maintenance contractors, ensuring you receive competitive, comparable bids based on your building’s actual needs.
We conduct recurring site inspections to verify contract compliance and confirm systems are being serviced properly. This is especially important in modern, complex systems, where even small oversights can lead to major failures or warranty complications.
