Plan Early for School Summer Maintenance: A Holiday Work Plan

The summer break is the best opportunity for major school maintenance without disrupting learning. But time is limited, and any delay means students return to buildings that are not ready. That is why planning for next summer should start now, during the school year.

Before the holiday: survey and plan

• Inspect every building and record findings with photos.
• Set priorities: safety first, then HVAC, then finishes.
• Prepare a schedule for each school and allocate teams.
• Order materials early to avoid delays.

Typical summer works

• Painting classrooms, corridors and boundary walls.
• Replacing damaged ceiling tiles and fixing the cause of leaks.
• Full servicing of AC units.
• Washroom and plumbing maintenance.
• Rehabilitating playgrounds, landscapes and irrigation.

Before students return

A final walk-through with school management, a full post-works clean and a photo-documented report for each building showing what was done and what needs follow-up.
