Start with an inventory
Before scheduling anything, establish what exists: which systems are at each property, who installed them, what condition they are in and what documentation is held. Estates assembled over time rarely have this written down.
One schedule, one format
Servicing should be planned across the year for the whole estate rather than site by site, and every property should produce records in the same format. That is what makes a portfolio reviewable rather than a stack of unrelated certificates.
- A single planned schedule covering every property
- Consistent certification and service record formats
- One point of contact rather than a contractor per site
- A central view of what is current and what is outstanding
Consolidating contractors
Estates often inherit a different contractor per property. Consolidating removes the gaps between them and makes comparison possible: with one contractor and one format, an outlier site is visible immediately.
ADS Group holds over 1,300 active maintenance contracts and coordinates servicing and reporting across multi-property estates.
