Course curriculum

01

The maintenance operation: work orders, priorities, and PM

Reactive-only maintenance costs 3-5x planned maintenance.

02

Plumbing maintenance and first response

Covers the fixtures and failures behind most tickets: toilet rebuilds, faucet cartridges, drain clearing methods and limits (when the auger stops and the plumber starts), water heater maintenance and anode awareness, shut-off valve mapping (the single highest-value prep task in any building), and leak response — find it, stop it, dry it, document it for insurance..

03

Electrical maintenance within safe limits

What maintenance staff can and should do — and the bright line where licensed electricians take over.

04

HVAC, appliances, and the mechanical room

Maintenance-level HVAC: filter programs that actually get done, condensate line service, thermostat setup, coil cleaning, and the readings to log before calling an HVAC contractor (so the call is cheaper and faster).

05

Building envelope and life safety

Covers roof and gutter inspection routines, caulking/sealing programs, door and window hardware, and slip/trip exterior walks.

06

Turnovers, vendors, and documentation

The make-ready process as a checklist-driven sprint: move-out inspection, scope build, trade sequencing (paint before floors, clean last), and quality walk.

What you’ll be able to do

  • Build a preventive maintenance calendar for any residential or small commercial building
  • Handle core systems: plumbing, electrical, HVAC filters/belts, roofing, life safety
  • Triage and prioritize work orders by urgency and liability
  • Run make-ready/turnover processes on schedule and budget
  • Document work and manage vendors when a job exceeds in-house scope

Who it’s for

  • New maintenance techs, property managers supervising maintenance, and owners self-managing small portfolios.
