Practical guidance on facilities management, maintenance contracts, fit-out and building services in Mauritius, written by the people who run the jobs rather than by a marketing department.

Cost and contracts

How much does facilities management cost in Mauritius?

Why there is no rate card, the six variables that actually move an FM price, how a quotation should be laid out so you can compare two bids properly, and a worked example of the shape of a contract on a multi-tenant Ebene office.

AMC versus reactive maintenance: the real comparison

Fix-on-failure looks cheaper until you count downtime, shortened asset life and the risk you are carrying. A side-by-side comparison of two identical buildings, plus the cases where reactive genuinely is the right call.

Projects and fit-out

Office fit-out costs in Ebene: what actually drives the price

Landlord handover condition, partitioning, power and data, cooling changes, life safety, out-of-hours access, goods lift logistics and reinstatement obligations - the items that separate two very different prices for the same floor plate.

Building services

HVAC servicing intervals in a tropical climate

Why manufacturer intervals are too long for Mauritius, the working schedules we use for split, cassette, ducted, chilled water and extract systems, and the warning signs that an interval is wrong.
