Over time, facade access systems such as Building Maintenance Units (BMUs) and associated height safety equipment experience wear and tear, reducing their performance, safety, and reliability. For property owners and asset managers, investing in the replacement of ageing systems is not only essential for compliance, it also delivers long-term operational and financial benefits.
Prioritising Safety and Compliance
Older facade access systems may no longer meet current Australian Standards or site-specific safety requirements. Degraded mechanical components, outdated control systems, or inadequate safety features can create risks for maintenance personnel and building occupants.
At Vertimax, we help building owners assess the condition of their existing facade access systems and determine whether full replacement or a staged upgrade is the best path forward. New building maintenance units and height safety systems are fully compliant, built to the latest safety standards, and designed with long-term durability in mind.
Improving Functionality and Efficiency
Modern facade access systems are significantly more advanced than those installed 10–20 years ago. Replacing outdated equipment with new, high-performance solutions can dramatically improve functionality, offering smoother operation, reduced maintenance downtime, and increased cleaning and maintenance reach.
Vertimax along with our manufacturing partners GinD, designs and installs innovative designs and installs innovative BMUs tailored to the specific architectural and operational needs of each site. Our systems are equipped with intelligent control features and are engineered for maximum efficiency, reducing time spent on routine maintenance and improving access across complex facades.
Enhancing Aesthetic and Asset Value
A malfunctioning or outdated BMU not only poses operational challenges, it can also impact the perception of the building itself. High-profile commercial properties in particular benefit from the clean, streamlined look of a modern facade access system.
By upgrading to a new Vertimax solution, building owners can enhance the appearance and reputation of their asset, ensuring it continues to meet the expectations of tenants, clients and regulatory stakeholders.
Reducing Cost Over Time
Continuously repairing ageing systems can become more expensive than replacing them altogether. Spare parts may become harder to source, and emergency call-outs for breakdowns can create unplanned expenses and operational delays.
Replacing an obsolete facade access system with a new BMU installation helps to reduce whole-of-life costs through increased reliability, longer service intervals and local technical support. Our team also offers ongoing maintenance plans to extend the lifespan of your new system.
Vertimax has decades of experience in designing, installing and maintaining facade access systems across Australia. Whether you’re managing a single commercial asset or a multi-building portfolio, we can help you assess the performance of your current system and develop a tailored plan to enhance safety, efficiency and long-term value.
