By Roy van Rivero


Regardless of the nature of your business, your company most likely faces the challenging task of building maintenance. For example, delegating the task to your subordinates can be tedious and could take a chunk of your precious time that is supposed to be dedicated to your core business function.

As you work on the task delegation, you need to consider these issues: To whom should I give this task? How should I schedule these tasks so that they will not hamper the overall operation of the company? How much will it cost? How will it impact the company's overall operation costs? - these are just a few questions you need to address.

But there is an alternative that you can try if you think that working on building maintenance tasks on your own with your staff is pretty a burden to your part - outsourcing; a strategy that is considered by many companies to be an effective way to reducing workload as well as saving from conventional operation costs. In this approach, you are letting a third party building maintenance service provider to do the tasks in your behalf. This, in general, is advantageous for your business.

What are the tasks you can outsource?
