Building Managers and Caretakers
When you’re responsible for the safety of commercial premises, our building managers and caretakers take the pressure off. They are your eyes and ears.
Building managers protect the property from break-ins, identify repair issues before they become costly problems, and help you meet insurance requirements.
Building management service
Our building management service preserves the value of your assets. Our managers not only prevent property deterioration, they also reduce the risk of illegal entry or vandalism. It’s a particularly valuable service for vacant premises, where the risk of crime is ever present.

CSG’s building management and caretaking service includes:
- External and internal inspections to ensure insurance requirements are met
- Securing doors, windows and letterboxes
- Utility drain down and isolation
- Fire testing, security lighting checks and pest control

- Identifying and resolving maintenance issues
Regular real-time reporting keeps you up to speed with developments, and you’ll be altered immediately to potential risks and hazards.
Building managers and caretakers for vacant premises
Vacant commercial premises can be an expensive headache for owners and property managers. They are a magnet for squatters, thieves and anti-social behaviour — and there’s the constant worry of weather damage and leaks.
We’re industry specialists in vacant property security. Our building managers and caretakers have a deep understanding of the risks, and the measures necessary to mitigate them. For example, they will:
- Inspect the exterior of the property, checking for any attempted breaches
- Alert you to security risks and vulnerabilities
- Carry out maintenance checks both externally and internally
- Test and reset alarms
- Check CCTV
- Pinpoint potential safety hazards and recommend options for addressing them
- Where authorised, deal with property maintenance issues for you

Insurance compliance
Regular inspections and reports submitted by our building managers go a long way towards demonstrating that you’re fulfilling an insurer’s expectations.
As experts in insurance compliance, we tailor inspections to meet your insurer’s specific requirements. Immediately following an inspection, you’ll receive a comprehensive real-time report — a permanent record, complete with photographic evidence.
This means you can act immediately and take action to address problems, or instruct us to deal with any issues for you. As a result, buildings insurance can be easier to come by, and premiums could be more competitive.
