Independent Maintenance Cost Audit
Review and benchmark your commercial maintenance contracts.
Scrutel independently reviews and benchmarks commercial maintenance contracts to identify where pricing, contract terms or service arrangements may need attention.

The Problem
Contracts accumulate. Scrutiny doesn't.
Most commercial properties end up with several maintenance contracts covering lifts, fire systems, HVAC, electrical and other building services — taken on at different times, from different suppliers, on different terms and renewal cycles.
Once in place, they're rarely re-examined. Without an independent point of comparison, it's difficult to know whether the pricing is still competitive, or whether the service level actually matches what's being paid for.
- Multiple suppliers, multiple renewal dates
- No independent point of comparison
- Costs reviewed rarely, if at all
- Uncertainty over whether service matches spend
