Being proactive with structural integrity checks can be imperative to preventing common structural issues of aging buildings. Facilities managers can ensure modern buildings maintain operational through maintaining common issues with everyday wear and tear as well as keeping up to date with the major code requirements which are said to be updated every 5 years.

Financial preparation for these update requirements and repairs can help ensure these issues do not become more costly in the future.
