Education Facilities Face Unique Maintenance Challenges

Aging Infrastructure

Average Canadian school building is over 55 years old with systems past their design life

Boilers, electrical panels, and roofing systems require replacement but face funding delays

Deferred Maintenance

Canadian school boards face over $16 billion in deferred maintenance and capital repairs

Provincial funding gaps force schools to prioritize reactive repairs over preventive maintenance

Limited Windows

Major maintenance work limited to summer break and holiday periods when buildings are empty

Tight schedules require precise planning to complete projects before students return

Safety Compliance

Fire codes, accessibility standards, and playground safety require documented inspections

CSA standards, provincial fire codes, and AODA compliance create complex tracking requirements
