Facility Management and Preventive Maintenance in Dubai
Planned visits, honest reports and a 24/7 line for the day something fails anyway. We look after the MEP and ELV systems that keep your building comfortable, safe and open.
What are facility management and preventive maintenance?
Facility management is the day-to-day care of a building's systems so it keeps running. Preventive maintenance is the planned part of that care: scheduled inspection, cleaning, testing and part replacement on HVAC, electrical, plumbing, fire and ELV equipment, done before faults appear. Our technical facility management in Dubai combines both, with a written PPM calendar, breakdown cover and monthly reporting.
Want lower running costs as well as fewer breakdowns? See ECM contracting and facility management. Controls and alarms sit under BMS contracting, and larger repairs or upgrades go to our MEP contracting teams.
Most building problems in Dubai arrive on the hottest day of the year. A clogged condenser coil, a pump that tripped overnight, a fan belt that has been slipping for weeks: none of it surprised the equipment, only the people who had never looked. Facility management and preventive maintenance in Dubai comes down to looking early, on a schedule, and writing down what you find.
Our preventive maintenance services in Dubai start with a walk-through. We list every asset (chillers, AHUs, FCUs, VRF units, pumps, distribution boards, generators, UPS, fire alarm panels, CCTV and access control), note its age and condition, and build a planned preventive maintenance (PPM) schedule around the manufacturer's guidance and how hard the building really works. A clinic, an office floor, a retail unit and a villa each get a different calendar.
Between visits, a technical facility management team sits behind one phone number. Breakdown calls are logged, attended and closed with a job card, so you can see what failed, what we did and whether it is likely to happen again. When a repair is bigger than a call-out we quote it separately, and our MEP contracting engineers carry it out. Nothing is added without your approval.
An annual maintenance contract for commercial buildings in Dubai should be easy to read. Ours state visit frequency, response times, what is covered and what is charged extra, and we review the contract against the asset register every year. Already have a maintenance company? We can audit its work first and tell you plainly whether the PPM is actually being done.
Our people, on site and around the table
Maintenance is a people job. These are our engineers and the clients we plan it with.



What's included
Planned preventive maintenance (PPM)
Scheduled inspection, cleaning and testing of HVAC, electrical, plumbing and fire systems.
24/7 breakdown response
One number for emergencies, with logged call-outs and job cards.
HVAC care
Chillers, AHUs, FCUs, VRF and ducted units: coils, filters, belts, drains and controls.
Electrical and power
Distribution boards, thermal scans, UPS, generators and earthing tests.
Plumbing and pumps
Booster sets, tanks, valves, leaks, drainage and sump pumps.
Fire and life safety
Alarm, sprinkler and emergency lighting checks scheduled around Civil Defence needs.
ELV and BMS
CCTV, access control and BMS points checked, cleaned and logged.
Reports and asset register
Monthly reports with photos, spare-parts advice and a live asset list.
Pre-summer readiness checks
Chiller, AHU and pump checks before peak cooling season, so the first heatwave is not the first test.
A typical PPM calendar
| System | Monthly | Quarterly | Annually |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chillers and AHUs | Filters, belts, drain trays, temperature and pressure readings | Coil cleaning, bearing and vibration checks, controls calibration | Deep clean, water-side review, performance report |
| VRF, split units and FCUs | Filter wash, drain checks | Indoor and outdoor coil cleaning, refrigerant pressure check | Full service and capacity check |
| Electrical systems | Distribution board visual checks, load readings | Tightening and thermal scan of connections | Earth testing, protection settings, generator load test |
| Pumps and water systems | Run test, seal and vessel pressure checks | Valve exercising, strainer cleaning | Tank inspection, overhaul planning |
| Fire alarm and fire fighting | Panel, detector and signal checks | Pump run and flow tests | Full system test and report |
| ELV and BMS | Camera, reader and controller health checks | Backups, firmware and log review | Sensor calibration, system review |
Frequencies follow the equipment maker's guidance and your site conditions. We agree them in writing before the first visit.

Facility Management & Preventive Maintenance: questions, answered
What is the difference between preventive and breakdown maintenance?
Preventive maintenance is planned work done on a schedule to stop failures. Breakdown maintenance is the emergency repair after something has already failed. A good contract has both: the first keeps the second small and rare.
How often should HVAC and electrical systems be serviced in Dubai?
It depends on the equipment and how hard it runs. In Dubai's heat, dust and humidity, filters and coils usually need attention monthly or quarterly, while electrical thermal scans and earth tests are normally yearly. We set the frequency per asset and put it in writing.
What does an annual maintenance contract (AMC) for a commercial building cover?
It should list the systems covered, visit frequency, response times, reporting and which parts or repairs are included or charged extra. We keep ours short and itemised so you always know what you are paying for.
Do you maintain equipment installed by other contractors?
Yes. We survey the equipment first, record its condition and agree a scope. Where parts are obsolete or a system is unsafe, we tell you before the contract starts.
Do you offer 24/7 emergency support?
Yes. A 24/7 breakdown line is part of our maintenance contracts, and response times are agreed per site and written into the contract.
Is preventive maintenance cheaper than repairing things when they fail?
In most buildings, yes. Planned work avoids emergency call-outs, out-of-hours rates and the cost of downtime, and equipment that is serviced on time usually lasts longer. The saving varies by building, so we compare your repair history with a proposed plan.
Can you take over from my current maintenance company?
Yes. We audit the existing records, agree a handover date and take over the asset register so there is no gap in cover.
Do you look after villas and small buildings or only large ones?
Both. Villas, shops and small offices get the same planned approach, with a lighter calendar and a simple monthly summary.
