From Installation to Maintenance: Why Ongoing Support Matters for Building Management Systems
- From Installation to Maintenance: Why Ongoing Support Matters for Building Management Systems
-
When purchasing a Building Management System (BMS), most facility managers are only thinking of the install – choosing technology, getting it set up and watching as the offending equipment works for years to come. But the real value of a BMS isn’t just in the initial installation — it’s in the ongoing care and support that keeps your building running efficiently year after year.
At ControlWorks, we don’t just install systems — we partner with clients to maintain, monitor, and optimise their buildings for long-term success. From scheduled preventive maintenance to 24/7 support and performance audits, our comprehensive support services make all the difference.
Why Installation Is Only the Beginning
A Building Management System is the nerve center of your building — it’s what looks after HVAC, lighting, energy systems and more. Our professionals team provides BMS solutions and services from project design to installation, integration, commissioning and support based on each facility's requirements.
However, a BMS is a living system. Changes in occupancy patterns, equipment wear and tear, updates to energy regulations, and evolving sustainability goals mean that buildings need more than just a one-time setup. This is where ongoing support becomes vital.
The Power of Proactive Maintenance
Regular maintenance isn’t a nice-to-have — it’s essential for performance, reliability, and efficiency. ControlWorks’ support services include:
- Scheduled Maintenance Plans Routine servicing to make sure your system performs optimally — including condition monitoring and trend reporting.
- Annual Assessment Reports Insightful evaluations that keep you informed about system health and performance trends.
- 24/7 Remote & On-Site Support Whether it’s an alert late at night or during peak season, help is available 24/7, 365 days a year.
- Energy Efficiency & Asset Audits We review your system for performance and efficiency opportunities to reduce costs and environmental impact.
- Training for Your Team Equip your staff with the knowledge they need to use and manage your BMS effectively.
