Is a Building Care Plan a maintenance contract with unlimited labor?

No. A Building Care Plan is scheduled oversight, tracking and reporting. It does not include unlimited labor. Repair labor, materials and projects that come out of a walkthrough or an open item are scoped and priced separately before any work begins.

Do you guarantee a response time?

No. Benson does not offer a guaranteed response window, on-call coverage or emergency service. A Building Care Plan sets a recurring visit rhythm agreed in writing — it is not a substitute for a dedicated emergency vendor.

What does the plan actually track?

Scheduled walkthroughs, an open-item list carried forward visit to visit, a building and asset record as it develops, vendor and trade coordination notes, and a written annual maintenance plan you can use for budgeting.

Is this a software platform we log into?

No. Benson is not a CMMS or SaaS vendor. Records are kept as documents, spreadsheets and photo sets shared with you, so the information stays usable regardless of who manages the property next.

How mature is the preventive-maintenance tracking?

It starts as a documented open-item and walkthrough history and grows into fuller preventive-maintenance (PM) tracking as the building's asset record matures. We are candid about where that tracking currently stands for your property.

Building Care Plans.

A Building Care Plan is recurring, documented oversight — someone walking the building on a schedule, keeping an honest open-item list, building the building's own record, and reporting on what changed. It is not a labor subscription and it does not promise an emergency response; it is the ongoing attention that keeps small issues from becoming large decisions.

Ask About a Building Care Plan

What this is not

A Building Care Plan is not an unlimited-labor maintenance contract and it does not come with a guaranteed response time, on-call coverage or emergency service. Repair labor, materials and projects that come out of a walkthrough or an open item are always scoped and priced separately before work begins.

What's included

What a Building Care Plan covers.

Scheduled building walkthroughs

A recurring visit rhythm agreed in writing, producing a dated, photo-supported record of visible conditions each time.

Open-item tracking

Findings are carried forward on a running list rather than getting lost between visits, so nothing quietly disappears.

Building & asset records

Areas, systems and equipment documented over time as the building's record develops — a foundation, not a finished database on day one.

PM tracking as it matures

Preventive-maintenance tasks and intervals get added to the record as the building's history and equipment list fill in.

Vendor & trade coordination

Arranging access, confirming scope and following up with the qualified vendors and licensed trade contractors handling regulated or specialty portions.

Annual maintenance planning

A written yearly plan pulling the open-item list and building record into a document you can bring to a budget conversation.

Management reporting

Periodic summaries an owner, board or asset manager can read without touring the building — condition, open items and what changed since the last one.

Good fit — and what is not included.

Photo-supported closeout
Where it is useful, completed work is documented with photos you can keep with the property file.
Regulated work coordinated
