Why PPM schedules matter

Reactive maintenance costs 3–5× more than planned maintenance. Every emergency call-out is a preventive task that didn't happen. A PPM schedule is the first step from reactive to planned — you decide when things get checked, not the equipment.

This template gives you the structure: what to check, how often, and who to send. Adapt the 180+ pre-loaded tasks to your building, assign contractors, and use the annual grid to make sure nothing slips.

Facilities PPM · FAQ

What tasks should be on a facilities PPM schedule?+

At minimum: HVAC filter changes, emergency lighting tests, fire extinguisher checks, water hygiene (Legionella risk management), and electrical installation inspections. Frequency varies by equipment type, age, and regulatory requirement.

Is this PPM schedule template compliant with UK regulations?+

Task frequencies are cross-referenced against ACOPs and guidance for common regulatory regimes — CIBSE guides, SFG20, and BS EN standards where applicable. It is a starting point; always verify against your specific equipment manufacturer recommendations and any site-specific risk assessments.

What is the difference between PPM and reactive maintenance?+

PPM (Planned Preventive Maintenance) schedules servicing before failures occur. Reactive maintenance responds after a failure. PPM costs more upfront but consistently delivers 3–5× lower total maintenance costs and significantly less unplanned downtime over a 5-year horizon.

Can I customise the schedule for my building?+

Yes — the Excel template is fully editable. Add rows for your specific assets, adjust frequencies based on manufacturer recommendations or contract requirements, and hide columns for equipment types you do not have.
