Maintenance checklists.
Daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly and annual checklists derived from the practice's preventive calendars across BMS, fire, PA, CCTV, UPS, BESS and AV.

Overview
Maintenance checklists work when they are derived from the engineering pack and reviewed against incident history. They fail when they are templated, generic and unreviewed. We publish this resource as a reference for FM teams building or refreshing their preventive checklists: the cadences we see hold up in the field, the items that should be on each cadence, and the failure modes that catching them prevents.
Each cadence reflects what an experienced FM team executes when the engineering pack is followed. They are starting points to be adapted to the actual building, not universal templates.

Preventive maintenance over reactive response
An AMC measured by ticket-close-time is failing; an AMC measured by preventive-event-cadence is working.
documentation
Documentation is the deliverable
The installed system is half the deliverable; the documentation pack is the other half. Without it, the system is a black box.
Interoperability
Interoperability matrices relevant to this resource
Interoperability
UPS + BESS + DG — power resilience layering
UPS bridges short outages; BESS bridges medium ones with quiet headroom; DG handles long outages with switchover discipline.
Interoperability
Fire alarm + PA voice evacuation — the cause-and-effect spine
Fire-alarm panels trigger zoned PA voice messages via a cause-and-effect matrix; both are governed by NBC 2016 + IS 2189, with EN 54-16 as the voice-alarm equipment benchmark.
Interoperability
CCTV + PoE switching + storage — the IP surveillance triad
IP cameras need PoE switches sized for both power and bandwidth, and storage sized for retention × bitrate × camera-count.

Maintenance Health Check
Tick the symptoms — Wi-Fi dead zones, false fire alarms, camera downtime — and we suggest the right intervention: tune-up, structured audit or full AMC.
