With the amount of new office buildings and residential buildings being constructed on a daily basis in SA, it is no wonder that the maintenance industry is booming. Buildings and the machinery and materials used in buildings are investments and it is the job of maintenance industry employees to look after these investments by keeping them in tip-top shape. This means ensuring that machines function properly at all times and that buildings are retrofitted from time to time to ensure that they are structurally sound.
