The Facilities Management concept is linked to an organizational function that integrates people, processes and places (called built environment), with the purpose of improving such processes and the quality of life of people, in addition to generating more productivity and integration of the core activity that the place holds.
In this scope, building maintenance is a service within a condominium, responsible for taking care of the building's assets, such as: electrical, hydraulic systems, fire, security, communication, air conditioning, among others. Its mission is to maintain the order of this ecosystem, as well as to extend its useful life.
Building maintenance, in practice, means: preventive analysis, monitoring, execution and corresponds to a planned work from the installation, through the frequency of preventive actions, possible substitutions of assets and movement of the site, so that these actions happen until the measurement of impacts caused in the day-to-day life of that place and whoever uses it.

Therefore, the assets of this location need to be valued intelligently and with a focus on risk management. Those responsible for this area will need to draw up strategic planning, so that execution is centered on extending the useful life of assets
