Small maintenance problems often seem harmless, like a leaky tap or flickering lightbulb. However, when left unaddressed across an entire MAT, those issues quickly snowball into operational disruptions and budget-draining projects.
Proactive, data-driven facilities management is the only way to avoid costly repairs, protect your MAT's reputation, and ensure students have the safe, modern learning environments they deserve.
Neglected maintenance is a ticking time bomb. A failing asset disrupts learning, and emergency repairs are always more costly than planned replacements. Worse yet, safety hazards in one school can undermine the reputation of your entire trust. And here's an alarming fact: the backlog of maintenance work across England's schools in 2023 stood in the billions of pounds.
Imagine having a crystal ball that forecasts the condition of buildings and then creates a single list of estate-wide issues, in order of prioritisation. A purpose-built premises management software gives you that power:
- Centralised Tracking: Get access to granular, live information across all the school sites.
- Condition Assessments: Gain full visibility of building asset conditions and statutory compliance levels across the estate through automated reporting.
- Predictive Timelines: Prioritise time and resources based on an objective 5-year view of needs across the estate.
- Projects Not Problems: Focus on project-based solutions, not a list of problems on a survey spreadsheet.
This kind of foresight transforms a MAT's capital programme so they can plan with confidence and allocate funds strategically.
Don't let ageing building assets jeopardise your mission.
