Government facilities are essential assets that require continuous attention to ensure safety, functionality, and efficiency. Maintaining these public sector buildings—from local offices to large municipal centers—is not just about keeping things running; it's about investing in their long-term performance, sustainability, and value. While many agencies aim to keep up with maintenance, the reality is that limited resources, staff, and time often lead to deferred maintenance. This can result in serious downtime, delayed repairs, and ultimately higher costs. Addressing maintenance proactively through efficient strategies and utilizing cooperative solutions can prevent backlogs and ensure that public buildings remain fully operational.
