Facilities & Property

We are partners with national and local facilities and property management organisations across the UK.

OUTCO’s Outdoor maintenance and compliance is a service designed for facility and property managers in the UK. We place a strong focus on risk management, safety, and regulatory compliance:

Risk Management

Accident Prevention: Facility and property managers are responsible for maintaining outdoor areas such as parking lots, walkways, and green spaces. Proper maintenance helps prevent accidents like slips and falls due to uneven surfaces, debris, or poor lighting.
Asset Protection: Well-maintained outdoor assets, such as HVAC units and roofing, are less likely to fail unexpectedly. Regular maintenance reduces the risk of costly emergency repairs or replacements.

Safety

Occupant Safety: Ensuring the safety of building occupants and visitors is a top priority. Compliance with safety regulations and standards, such as fire safety codes and accessibility requirements, is essential to minimise hazards and protect people’s well-being.
Emergency Preparedness: Properly maintained outdoor areas are vital during emergencies. Emergency exit routes, fire suppression systems, and outdoor signage must be in optimal condition for effective emergency response.

Compliance

Legal Obligations: Facility and property managers must adhere to a myriad of regulations and codes, including health and safety, environmental, and accessibility standards. Compliance not only ensures adherence to the law but also mitigates legal and financial risks.
Environmental Regulations: Compliance with environmental regulations, such as water management and waste disposal, is critical to avoid penalties and maintain responsible stewardship of resources.
Accessibility: Ensuring outdoor spaces are accessible to all individuals, including those with disabilities, is both a legal requirement and a moral obligation. Compliance with accessibility standards promotes inclusivity.

Liability Mitigation

Reducing Liability: Neglecting outdoor maintenance or failing to comply with safety and accessibility standards can lead to costly legal claims and reputational damage. Proper maintenance and compliance help mitigate these liability risks.

Tenant and Client Satisfaction

Tenant Retention: Well-maintained outdoor areas enhance tenant satisfaction, increasing the likelihood of lease renewals and positive referrals. Commercial properties with attractive outdoor spaces are more appealing to businesses and tenants.
Client Trust: Property management companies often have clients who expect their properties to be well-maintained and compliant with regulations. Meeting these expectations builds trust and strengthens client relationships.

Operational Efficiency

Energy Efficiency: Sustainable outdoor maintenance practices, such as efficient landscaping and lighting systems, reduce energy consumption and operational costs.
Preventive Maintenance: Regular outdoor maintenance prevents equipment breakdowns and prolongs the lifespan of assets, leading to cost savings and improved operational efficiency.

Asset Preservation

Property Value: Proper outdoor maintenance contributes to the preservation of property value. Well-maintained buildings and outdoor areas are more attractive to potential buyers or tenants, ensuring a higher return on investment.

Community Impact

Aesthetics: Facility and property managers play a role in shaping the aesthetics of communities. Attractive outdoor spaces enhance the local environment and contribute to community well-being.
Environmental Responsibility: Implementing sustainable outdoor maintenance practices aligns with community expectations for environmentally responsible property management.
