Specialist Maintenance Contractor Statement Monitoring

Essential Property Services provides a "Specialist Maintenance Contractors Statement Monitoring service" that monitors your maintenance contractor's fire safety measures contractual compliance through our unique software. This statement monitoring service requires maintenance contractors to provide a statement certifying that their fire safety measures inspections, testing and maintenance has been performed to the clients' contracts and Section I Maintenance Building Code of Australia.

Compliance with fire safety measures legislation is an issue of significant interest to building owners, managers, owners corporations, property purchasers, tenants, building visitors, insurance companies and authorities, and statement monitoring is particularly useful when:

A dispute arises relating to the lack of testing and maintenance of fire safety measures;
A loss occurs as a result of the failure of fire safety measures to operate in the event of an emergency;
A building owner is served with an infringement notice from an authority for non compliance under fire safety measures legislation.

EPS statement monitoring service provides a safeguard to minimise the risk exposure presented to building owners (managers) when fire safety measures have failed in an emergency, causing property damage or injury to a person. Our statement monitoring services requires the Specialist Maintenance Contractors Statements to certify (on specific dates each year), that they have performed all required fire safety measures inspections, tests and remedial maintenance works on their contracted fire safety measures. The statement monitoring system provides signed statements which help provide legal assurance that the contracted maintenance works have been successfully completed.

EPS has developed a statement monitoring software program that tracks all fire safety measures statements required by your contractors, specific to each building. Each maintenance contractors' statement is obtained or you are advised otherwise, providing owners and managers with the documentation required to provide evidence of compliance.
