Annual Facilities Maintenance Contracts in Mauritius

An annual facilities maintenance contract replaces unpredictable breakdown bills with a planned schedule and a known monthly cost. BFC Ltd builds the schedule around your actual assets rather than a generic checklist.

What we deliver

• Scheduled visits at intervals agreed with you
• Priority response for faults arising between visits
• Cover for electrical, plumbing, HVAC and building fabric
• Consumables and minor parts included where agreed
• A written service report after every single visit
• Annual forecast for planned replacements and major spend

How we work

Preventive maintenance is far cheaper than emergency repair, particularly in the Mauritian climate where humidity, salt air and heavy seasonal rain accelerate wear on plant, roofing and electrical enclosures. Catching a failing bearing, a blocked condensate drain or a corroding connection early avoids the downtime that follows.

Contracts are quoted per site after a survey, so you are not paying for cover you do not need. You receive a fixed monthly figure, a visit calendar, and a named contact who knows your building.

What a yearly PPM schedule looks like

A planned preventive maintenance schedule is simply a calendar of small jobs, each timed to land before the problem it prevents. On a typical Mauritian building that means roof and gutter clearing plus parapet and flashing checks in September and October, ahead of the cyclone season; air-conditioning filter and coil cleaning with condensate drain flushing every quarter; water tank cleaning and pump and valve checks twice a year; drainage rodding annually; and a distribution board inspection with tightening of terminations once a year.

Each visit produces a short written report with photographs, a note of anything that needs attention, and a quotation if remedial work falls outside the contract. Over two or three years that record becomes genuinely valuable: you can see which plant is nearing the end of its life and budget for replacement instead of being ambushed by it.

What sits inside the yearly fee, and what does not

The fee covers the planned visits on the agreed asset list, the labour for those visits, routine consumables where they are named in the schedule, the reporting, and reactive attendance at contract rates within agreed response times. What sits outside is equally clear from the start: capital replacement of plant that has reached the end of its life, damage caused by third parties or misuse, specialist plant that needs its manufacturer, works arising from an insured event, and anything requiring scaffolding or plant hire that was not foreseen in the schedule. Additional works are quoted before they are carried out, and each one is issued as a numbered variation so that the annual spend can be reconciled line by line at renewal.

How the schedule is built from the asset register

Frequencies come from the asset, not from a template. Air handling and split units in continuous use are attended more often than units in a rarely used room. Pumps, tanks and pressure sets are checked on a rhythm that suits their duty. Emergency lighting, extinguishers and life-safety items follow the intervals required of them. Building fabric items such as roof outlets, gutters and external seals are scheduled ahead of the cyclone season rather than after it. Where the register is incomplete on day one, the first year of visits fills the gaps, and the schedule is adjusted at renewal against what actually failed rather than what was assumed.

What you can audit at the end of the year

Each visit produces a signed sheet listing the assets attended, the readings taken, the parts fitted and the items left open. Reactive call-outs are logged with the time reported, the time attended and the cause. At renewal that record supports a short review: which assets consumed the most labour, which recurring faults suggest replacement rather than repair, and where the frequencies should move up or down. It also gives you something useful outside the maintenance conversation entirely, since a documented maintenance history is what a buyer, an insurer or an incoming tenant asks for first.
