A Building Care Plan from YYC Upgrades is a scheduled maintenance plan for apartment buildings, condominium buildings and other commercial buildings in Calgary. Instead of reacting to wear and damage as it appears, property managers and condo boards can plan common-area upkeep across the year, in step with budgets and reserve-fund cycles.
YYC Upgrades has served Calgary buildings since 2012. A care plan brings that experience together in one agreement: one team, one point of contact, and a visit schedule agreed in advance, so small jobs do not turn into larger repairs and residents and tenants see consistent, well-kept common areas.
What a Building Care Plan covers
Each plan is built around the building, not a fixed package. The services below can be included, in the order they are most often needed in a shared building:
- Flooring: regular flooring wear checks in lobbies, corridors, stairwells and amenity rooms, with repairs coordination when a worn section, loose transition or damaged area needs attention.
- Painting: annual common-area paint touch-ups, including scuffs and marks in hallways, lobbies and stairwells, so shared spaces look cared for between larger repainting projects.
- Siding: siding and exterior inspections that note visible damage, loose or worn sections and areas to watch, with follow-up work scheduled before problems spread.
- Blinds: blinds servicing in common areas, including checks and adjustments for blinds in lobbies, amenity rooms and other shared spaces.
- Security: coordination of security-related checks alongside other building work, so cameras, access control and intercom needs are raised with the same team rather than through a separate contractor.
Who a Building Care Plan is for
Building Care Plans are designed for property managers who look after several buildings and need reliable scheduling and clear reporting, and for condo boards that want to plan maintenance around an annual budget and a reserve-fund cycle. They also suit building owners who want a single contractor to keep common areas in good condition year after year.
A plan is especially helpful when a building has high-traffic common areas, when work has previously been left until it became urgent, or when a board wants maintenance decisions documented and scheduled rather than handled one emergency at a time.
How it works
- Walkthrough: We walk through the building with you, looking at common areas, flooring, painted surfaces, siding and exterior areas, blinds in shared spaces, and any security-related items you want included.
- Plan: We set out a plan for the year, with the services included, the visit schedule, and timing that fits your budget and reserve-fund cycle.
- Scheduled visits: We carry out the planned visits, keep a record of what was checked and done, and flag anything that should be planned for a future budget year.
Why plan maintenance this way
- Priority scheduling: Planned visits are booked in advance, so routine care is not pushed aside by urgent work elsewhere.
- One point of contact: You deal with one team for flooring, painting, siding, blinds and security coordination, instead of coordinating several trades.
- Planned around budgets and reserve-fund cycles: Work is timed and recorded so boards and managers can see what is planned, what is due, and what can wait for a future cycle.
- Consistent common areas: Regular touch-ups and checks help lobbies, corridors and amenity rooms present well for residents, tenants and visitors.
