3. Preventive Maintenance (PM): Follow a strict PM schedule for all mechanical, electrical, and MEP equipment. Inspect roofs, parking structures, and life-safety systems regularly.

4. Administrative: Utilize digital work order systems to track and prioritize requests. Supervise third-party contractors for major capital improvements or specialized repairs.
