What an AMC should cover
Quarterly HVAC servicing, monthly electrical and plumbing checks, biannual water tank cleaning, annual civil and waterproofing inspection, façade checks, fire-safety equipment inspection, and unlimited corrective call-outs within a defined SLA.
Response times that matter
Critical: water leak, total power loss, summer AC failure — within 4 hours. Routine: dripping tap, minor electrical, paint touch-up — within the same week. Anything slower and the contract isn't really an AMC.
Spotting upsell traps
Watch for contracts that exclude 'consumables' (filters, chemicals, small parts), charge per call-out within an AMC, or quote suspiciously low monthly fees with high variable bills. Total cost matters more than headline price.
