Why Every Delhi Building Society Needs an AMC in 2026

Rajiv Mehra, Chief Engineer, Nirman Ved5 February 20265 min read

Building Maintenance AMC (Annual Maintenance Contract) is essential for residential societies and commercial buildings in Delhi. A well-structured AMC reduces emergency repair costs by up to 40% through preventive maintenance, extends equipment lifespan, and ensures resident safety and comfort.

Delhi's extreme climate — from 48°C summers to near-freezing winters and heavy monsoon rains — puts enormous stress on building infrastructure. Without regular maintenance, buildings deteriorate rapidly. Waterproofing fails within 3-5 years, lift breakdowns become frequent, and electrical systems degrade.

A comprehensive building maintenance AMC should cover: civil repairs (cracks, plastering, waterproofing), plumbing (pipeline maintenance, leak repair, STP/WTP), electrical (wiring, switchgear, DG sets, transformers), elevators (monthly servicing, safety inspections), fire safety (extinguisher refilling, hydrant testing, alarm testing), and common areas (cleaning, painting, garden maintenance).

The cost of a building maintenance AMC in Delhi ranges from ₹5 to ₹15 per sqft per month depending on building age, equipment, and service level. A typical residential society of 50,000 sqft would pay ₹2.5 to ₹7.5 lakhs per month. This is significantly lower than the cumulative cost of reactive repairs.

When selecting an AMC provider, look for: experience with similar-sized buildings, dedicated on-site maintenance team (not just on-call), defined response times (4 hours for routine, 30 minutes for emergency), transparent monthly reporting, penalty clauses for SLA breaches, and proper insurance coverage.

Nirman Ved's AMC program includes a comprehensive building audit at the start of every contract. We assess current conditions, identify deferred maintenance, create a prioritized repair plan, and establish a preventive maintenance calendar. This proactive approach prevents most emergencies before they occur.
