5 Things Most Facility Managers Forget Until It’s Too Late
Facility management is a balancing act. On a good day, it’s invisible. On a bad day? It’s firefighting.
At Intellisol, we’ve worked with facilities that looked perfect on paper but still ran into unexpected shutdowns or breakdowns. Why? Because the little things were overlooked.
Here are 5 commonly forgotten issues that can spiral out of control if ignored.
1. Neglected Structural Elements (Like That Catwalk You Never Checked)
That overhead catwalk or rooftop platform may have been built years ago and probably hasn’t had a proper check since.
Corrosion, loosened welds, or unnoticed cracks can become safety hazards. Regular inspection is a must, especially for older or industrial structures.
2. Old Wiring & Overloaded Panels
We get it if the lights are on, all’s good, right?
Not quite. Many facilities run on aging electricals never designed for today’s load. Over time, this becomes a fire risk or leads to outages that disrupt work.
3. Water Systems & Drainage
Clogged drainage, slow seepage, or backup in stormwater lines can silently damage foundations.
By the time someone notices a leak in the basement, you’re looking at renovation, not just a minor fix.
4. Deferred “Small Fixes” That Become Expensive Projects
Loose tiles, broken railings, cracked floors easy to ignore today, expensive tomorrow.
We’ve seen places where a ₹2,000 patch job turned into a ₹2 lakh overhaul, just because no one acted in time.
5. One-Time Deep Interventions
Not everything needs a recurring contract but some things must be done at least once.
Full-site plumbing inspections, duct deep-cleans, structural retrofits, custom fabrication these non-routine jobs often get pushed back until they cause costly downtime.
Final Takeaway
Facility managers already juggle a hundred things. But having a partner who knows what to look for and when can make all the difference.
That’s where Intellisol comes in. We offer one-time, high-impact PMC solutions that prevent the problems you didn’t see coming.
