  • Operational safety

    Safety-critical systems get a particularly close look against regulations and operator duties.

  • Cost efficiency

    Quotations and prices are validated and optimised. Cost risks become visible before they arise.

  • Compliance

    Workmanship is checked against standards and manufacturer specifications and documented in an audit-proof way.

What an audit finding looks like

We compare what was agreed with what the service reports prove. Every deviation is named and ranked by urgency.

About the maintenance contract audit
Maintenance system

Every system carries its own file

A QR code sits on the equipment. Scan it, enter the PIN, and you see the report, the status and the next due date.

No folder in the basement, no searching through email. The code stays the same even when the data changes.

  • A fixed QR code per system that never needs replacing
  • Access only with QR code and PIN
  • Documents stay in your OneDrive

What sets us apartfrom the standard

Maintenance is often just paid for. With us, it is checked.

HTA
  • Independent, no maintenance of our own
  • Checked against standards and manufacturer specifications
  • Contract compared with service reports
  • Quotations and prices validated
  • Audit-proof documentation

Without independent checks

  • The contractor checks its own work
  • Visual check instead of measurement record
  • Contracts run on unchanged
  • Prices are carried forward
  • Evidence is missing when it matters
Process

How we work with you

From the first conversation to ongoing supervision: four clearly defined steps.

  1. 1

    Initial consultation and documents

    We talk about your portfolio, your systems and the most pressing questions. You then provide the existing maintenance contracts and the reports on file.

    1 to 2 weeks

  2. 2

    Assessment

    We compare contracts and reports, check deadlines and evidence and examine safety-critical systems on site.

    2 to 6 weeks, depending on scope

  3. 3

    Audit report

    You receive a written report with findings, deviations and recommended actions, prioritised by safety, legal risk and cost.

    1 week

  4. 4

    Implementation and ongoing supervision

    If you wish, we implement the recommendations with you: renegotiations, re-tenders, defect rectification. And we continue to supervise the contracts on an ongoing basis.

    Ongoing, via service package

Results from practice

Anonymised cases from housing and property management.

Example case

Housing association

around 1,200 residential units, 14 properties

Documented services were missing in 11 contracts. Three were re-tendered, two renegotiated. All systems have since been recorded in the maintenance system.

  • Heating
  • Ventilation
  • Lifts
  • Fire alarm systems
Example case

Property manager, mixed-use portfolio

6 properties with commercial and residential use

All inspections passed without follow-up appointments. Open defects from previous years were rectified and documented within three months.

  • Sprinklers
  • Smoke extraction
  • Fire alarm systems
Example case

Housing cooperative

around 600 residential units

After the new award, maintenance costs are around a fifth below the previous year, with a clearly defined scope of services.
