Our new Live Knowledge Banks are an excellent opportunity for Property Management Professionals to update their skills in an interactive and informal setting.

These small, interactive, in-person events are designed to bring back the personal touch and engagement that online webinars can’t always fully replicate.

The day is split into two sessions - one in the morning and one in the afternoon.

You have the choice to attend just one of the sessions or both.

To attend each session individually will cost £45 plus VAT (£40 plus VAT subscribers), however if you choose to attend the full day you will receive a discounted rate, making the cost only £75 plus VAT (£65 plus VAT for subscribers) for both sessions.

We will be sharing his insights into why a robust Planned Maintenance Programme is essential for building safety, compliance and long term asset management, particularly in relation to Higher Risk Buildings and Commonhold Reform. 

The session will cover how Planned Maintenance Programmes are developed and maintained, the critical role of regular roof inspections including the use of drone technology, and how minor defects can escalate into significant issues when left unaddressed. 

We will also examine the impact of inflation, market conditions and cost fluctuations on forward planning and budgeting.

Drawing on practical experience from across the sector, our speakers will demonstrate how an up-to-date Planned Maintenance Programme can be used as a practical tool by property managers and building owners, and how effective planning supports compliance with an evolving legislative landscape.
