Facility management for community and non-profit organizations
Community organizations need their buildings to work without a facilities department. Orbit provides one, with plain-language reports for your board and help planning capital and grant-funded projects.
Inspection-ready
What we keep running
| Area | What the rules require | What Orbit does |
|---|---|---|
| Building systems | Heating, cooling, plumbing and electrical systems need planned maintenance to avoid costly failures. | Preventive maintenance on a budget-friendly schedule, with priorities ranked by risk. |
| Fire and life safety | Assembly spaces have fire safety inspections, occupancy limits and exit requirements.Ontario Fire Code | Licensed inspections, monthly checks and deficiencies closed out. |
| Accessibility | Entrances, washrooms and routes must stay accessible to everyone who uses the building. | Repairs to doors, ramps, railings and washrooms, and snow clearing on accessible routes. |
| Capital planning | Boards need to know what is coming before it fails. | A one- to three-year capital plan, ranked by risk, to support budgets and grant applications. |
| Cleaning | Shared spaces see heavy use from programs and rentals. | Scheduled cleaning and resets between programs and events. |
This summary is a guide, not legal advice. Your licence conditions, municipality, insurer and inspectors may add requirements. We build each site’s program from its own documents and inspection history.
