Property maintenance scheduling in Kenya

Schedule authorized property maintenance without taking on unqualified technical work.

A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE

Fictional scheduling service: turn an owner's existing maintenance plan for a 12-unit building into a three-month calendar with 24 approved provider appointments and six named vendors. Deliver an asset/task register, access schedule, reminders and completion-evidence tracker. The owner and competent providers determine what needs servicing, technical intervals and urgency; the scheduler does not invent statutory frequencies, diagnose equipment or certify completion. Repairs, parts, testing and emergency response are separately contracted with suitable providers.

Who is the first customer?

Owners and licensed managers juggling routine repair requests.
