Building maintenance intelligence

Your O&M manuals.
Finally actionable.

Prospero reads your O&M documentation and generates a complete, traceable maintenance programme — asset register, compliance schedule and lifecycle forecasting included — in minutes, not months.

The problem

Buildings are handed over.
The documentation isn't.

Every building comes with thousands of pages of O&M documentation that determine long-term maintenance obligations. Almost none of it is acted on systematically.

Time

40–80 hours per manual set

Extracting maintenance tasks from a single O&M manual set consumes specialist time that should be spent on risk-critical work — not reading PDFs.

Coverage

BWoF covers the regulated minimum

Facades, membranes, envelope systems — everything outside the compliance scope sits entirely unmanaged, with no plan and no visibility.

Scale

No compounding benefit

Each new acquisition restarts the same manual process from scratch. No institutional memory, no consistency as a portfolio grows.

Liability

Deferred maintenance deteriorates

When issues surface, remediation typically costs 3–7× what proactive maintenance would have. The longer it's deferred, the worse the outcome.

How it works

From PDF to maintenance plan in under five minutes.

01

Upload your O&M manuals

Drag and drop PDFs directly into Prospero. No formatting required.

02

Prospero analyses and structures

Every specification and interval is read, organised by asset, and flagged for compliance and warranty relevance.

03

Confirm and clarify

Review specified system tags and shape the output to fit how your organisation works.

04

Receive a live maintenance plan

Organised by asset, component and task — complete with compliance and warranty tagging, ready to action.

Product

Everything that was specified. Nothing left behind.

Three views into a live maintenance programme — generated directly from your own O&M manuals, not a template.

New — Lifecycle forecasting

A complete asset register, not just a task list

Every asset in the building is catalogued — down to the tag, location and serial number — with the lifecycle data your capital plan actually needs.

  • Expected useful life and installed date tracked per asset, not per building
  • Condition, quantity and estimated replacement cost roll up into a portfolio-wide capex forecast
  • Search any asset type, tag or location across every property in seconds

Compliance & warranty tagging

Every warranty and compliance obligation, scheduled

Tasks are pulled from manufacturer specifications with the correct frequency already set — and split cleanly by what's legally required and what protects your warranty.

  • Frequencies — quarterly, biannual, as-needed — set automatically from the source manual
  • Compliance and Warranty tags applied to every task, with next-due dates and one-click completion
  • Full history retained against each task for audit and handover

Traceable to source

Tasks tied to your Specified Systems

Each task carries its Specified System tag, so compliance items line up directly against the systems your IQPs are accountable for — and every entry cites the exact page it came from.

  • SS-number tagging maps straight onto your building's compliance schedule
  • Add, edit or remove tasks per asset type as scope or contractors change
  • Every task links back to a page reference in the source O&M manual

The compliance gap

Your compliance schedule is not your maintenance plan.

BWoF covers the regulated minimum. The assets that drive your largest costs and liabilities sit entirely outside it — unmanaged by default.

BWoF / compliance schedule Full maintenance obligation THE GAP — WHERE LIABILITY ACCUMULATES, UNMANAGED

That gap is where deferred maintenance liability accumulates — silently, until it surfaces. Prospero shows the full picture: structured, traceable, complete.

Who it's for

Anyone accountable when something is missed.

Delivery side

Property Developers

Delivering new assets and needing operational readiness from day one — not months spent deciphering handover documentation.

Main Contractors

Responsible for structured, usable handovers — not dumping thousands of pages of O&Ms, warranties and manuals at practical completion.

Operations side

Property Managers

Inheriting assets with fragmented documentation, unread O&M manuals and no clear operational maintenance framework.

Asset Managers

Managing portfolios where maintenance visibility, compliance obligations and lifecycle planning directly influence capital outcomes.

Facility Managers

Responsible for day-to-day maintenance and compliance, but often operating from incomplete or unstructured asset information.

Case study — 40m office building

What one Facilities Manager found on his first building.

A missing pump contract, found in 20 minutes

Ingesting the O&M manual surfaced that the sewer and stormwater pumping systems had no service contract in place at all — they simply weren't covered by the incumbent contractor's scope.

"I was able to get that email together in about 20 minutes instead of spending half a day going through the manual."Senior Facilities Manager

Before: 20 tasks flagged across 5 components — no contractor assigned.

The feature he rates most highly: Compliance vs. Warranty

Automatic tagging separates legally-required items — like annual backflow testing under NZ BWoF — from manufacturer warranty conditions that are easy to lose track of, such as facade and roof checks.

"If I miss those, I could lose my job. So Prospero making this easier means I want this on all my buildings."Senior Facilities Manager

What Prospero means

The outcomes that matter to your portfolio.

Predictable capital expenditure

Proactive schedules eliminate reactive capex spikes — portfolio costs become forecastable.

Protected asset value at sale

Auditable maintenance records remove the largest discount applied during due diligence.

Eliminated liability exposure

Every obligation is documented, tracked and attributable — the audit trail is already there.

Scalable across your portfolio

New developments and acquisitions onboard in hours. Institutional knowledge becomes structured data.

"We would hire an admin staffer to manually read O&Ms and extract anything with a task and a frequency date. That would take them six weeks."

A construction handover team

"At least once a year we would void warranties on our buildings — simply because we did not have the data readily available. Using Prospero has been a game changer."
