Commercial property & office maintenance

FAQ: What does commercial property maintenance include?

Commercial property maintenance from Foreshore Projects & Maintenance covers the repairs and upkeep that keep an office, shop or small building in working order. The usual items are:

• Scheduled maintenance visits that clear a running list
• General repairs to doors, fixtures, plasterboard and fittings
• Touch-ups and minor renovations between tenancies
• Common-area and exterior upkeep
• Office rubbish removal alongside a visit

Tim quotes the list in writing and books the visit around the building's access hours and tenants. It suits landlords, property managers and facilities managers who want one number to call instead of a rotating list of contractors. Because Tim does the work himself, there's no handover between a salesperson and a crew.

FAQ: Does Foreshore remove rubbish from offices as well as repair them?

Yes, Foreshore Projects & Maintenance handles office rubbish removal, often alongside a maintenance visit or a larger clean-out ahead of a make-good or refurbishment. Clearing old furniture, fixtures and fit-out waste at the same time as repairs means one booking and one contractor on site.

Tell Tim what needs to go and how it's accessed, such as lift or loading-dock arrangements, and he'll include removal in the quote. Removal is often followed by patching and repainting, which he can quote together so the space is ready to hand back or re-let. For a lease-end clear-out, the make-goods page explains how the sequence works.

FAQ: Does Foreshore do strata building maintenance on the North Shore?

Yes, Foreshore Projects & Maintenance carries out strata building maintenance on the Lower North Shore, working from a scope approved by the owners corporation or strata manager. In NSW, the owners corporation is generally responsible for common property such as roofs, external walls, stairwells and driveways, so committees often need a contractor for the repairs that follow.

Tim provides itemised written quotes, plans access with residents, and keeps to the approved scope. He isn't a strata manager, so levies, meetings and insurance remain with your managing agent. The dedicated strata maintenance page covers how a strata job runs and the questions committees ask most.

FAQ: Can Foreshore maintain an office on a regular schedule?

Yes, Foreshore Projects & Maintenance can set up a recurring office maintenance schedule once you've seen how a first visit runs. Tim works from a running job list, quotes each visit in writing and books it around your building's access hours.

Some clients choose a visit at a regular interval, such as monthly or quarterly, to clear small defects. Others call only when the list builds up. Talk to Tim about the frequency that suits your building. Regular visits help small issues get fixed before they turn into larger repairs, and because the same person returns each time, he learns the building's access arrangements and quirks after the first visit.

FAQ: Can one contractor look after several tenancies for a commercial landlord?

Yes, Foreshore Projects & Maintenance can work from a running list across several tenancies for a landlord or property manager, quoting each job or visit in writing for approval. One contractor means less briefing of different trades, and Tim builds up knowledge of each property's access arrangements after the first visit.

Typical work includes between-tenancy repairs, repainting, door and fixture repairs, and exterior upkeep. Tim has worked with commercial property agents, and older buildings often need a series of repairs over time instead of a single fix, so a standing arrangement can suit them well. Send through the properties and a list of jobs, and he'll suggest a visit schedule that works.
