Your building is the first thing a client sees. It is also the last thing anyone budgets for.

The usual problem

Industrial park buildings age in a very specific way and almost nobody budgets for it until it is expensive. The plaster boxes crack at the corners of every opening because the structure moves and the render does not. The parapets get water behind the coping and push damp down the inside of the wall. The IBR roof sheets rust at the fixings first, then bleed streaks down a wall that was painted three years ago. Steel door frames, roller shutters, palisade and balustrades go from surface rust to pitting while the paint budget waits for a better year. Then the tenant renews, the landlord wants the building presentable, and everything gets done at once, badly, over one December shutdown, by whoever answered the phone. That is the repaint that fails in three winters, and the reason it fails is almost never the paint. It is that nobody dealt with the water and the cracks first.
