Preventive vs. Corrective Building Maintenance: Why Emergency Repairs Cost up to 4x More

Waiting for distribution pipes to burst or emergency generators to stall during a blackout is the most expensive facility management approach. Predictive engineering replaces costly emergency responses with budgeted, proactive maintenance.

1. Sitter's Law: The Rule of Five

Civil engineering economics illustrates that corrective repairs cost up to five times more than routine preventive inspections, and 25 times more than robust initial engineering design.

2. Certified Facility Maintenance Programs (NBR 5674)

RGD Service designs 12-month facility maintenance master plans mapping building sub-assemblies (pumps, facades, substations, and waterproofing) backed by certified engineering inspections and ART affidavits.
