Sector · Building services
Businesses that look after buildings.
Maintenance, fit-out and specialist trades are built on relationships and repeat work. That is exactly what we value.
How is recurring work assessed?
Contracted maintenance, repeat project work and one-off callouts behave differently. Explain how your work is won and renewed, and which relationships depend on you personally.
Where the conversation goes
- Contract terms and renewal patterns
- Service delivery, supervision and specialist skills
- The balance of recurring and project income
Recurring work is the foundation.
Building-services businesses often have something rare: clients who come back. Planned maintenance, cyclical works and long-standing relationships with property managers and main contractors create a steadier base than one-off projects.
We look closely at the contracts, the team and the recurring element of the work — and at how much of it depends on the owner personally.
The questions we ask.
- 01
Contract structure
Framework, term or ad-hoc work — and how it renews.
- 02
Client concentration
Whether a small number of clients account for most of the work.
- 03
The team
Supervisors, estimators and operatives, and how the business runs day to day.
- 04
Systems
Quoting, scheduling, compliance and reporting — and where they could be stronger.
