Fees for maintenance evaluations, specifications, modernization, and due diligence are quoted on a “per project” or “per unit” basis depending on the complexity of the project, client requirements, and the number of units.

Maintenance Specifications

Our client-oriented and performance-based maintenance specifications eliminate such vague frequency of service intervals as; regularly, frequently, periodically, systematically, or as often as we determine. ECandD “Maintenance Specifications” require maintenance tasks be performed monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, and annually.
