According to lead SpendEdge procurement analyst Angad Sing:
Increased adoption of IoT technologies, RFIDs, app-based wearables, and mobile devices are revolutionizing the building maintenance services market.

Report highlights:

- Buyers are advised to define different contract terms and periods for different building maintenance services to measure performance effectively, and suppliers to subcontract/partner with other building maintenance service providers to provide integrated service delivery options to consumers.
Building maintenance services pricing trends
The time and material pricing model is the most widely adopted pricing model in the global building maintenance services market. In this model, a price is assigned based on the value of the time and the prices of materials provided by suppliers for maintenance projects. However, SpendEdge procurement analysts observe that guaranteed maximum pricing offers the highest potential, as it is open to penalties for the suppliers in case of any deviations, and lowers the administrative workload.
