Know what's due before it breaks.

BuildKeep keeps every machine, PM task and required inspection in your building on one list, and tells your maintenance engineer what to do today. It runs on the phone already in their pocket.

For hotels, stores, schools, plants, apartments and more. No per-user fees.

Most buildings run maintenance on memory.

It works until the one person who remembers is out sick, busy with a flood, or gone for good.

  • The schedule lives in one head.When your engineer leaves, the knowledge leaves with them.
  • Filters and coils wait for someone to remember.Dirty coils waste power and wear out compressors years early.
  • Inspections show up as surprises.Fire alarm, sprinkler, backflow, elevator. Miss one and you're out of compliance.
  • The replacement bill comes with no warning.Equipment installed together wears out together, and the budget rarely knows it's coming.

Set it up from photos. Then follow the list.

  1. Photograph the data plates

    Walk the building with your phone. BuildKeep reads the make, model and serial number from each plate. Prefer to type? That works too.

  2. Get a plan for every machine

    What to do, how often, the steps and the parts, following the manufacturer's recommended schedule. Forty identical PTACs get one plan, tracked room by room.

  3. Follow today's list

    A daily list sized to the hours you actually have. Tap Done and the next date sets itself. Anything late turns red.

An example of the Today list. Your engineer sees this on their phone, and you can see the same list from anywhere.

Everything the building needs, in one place.

Required inspections

Fire alarm, sprinklers, extinguishers, backflow and the rest, each with its last date, next date and the rule behind it. Missouri's rules are built in and cited. For other states BuildKeep looks them up and marks them for you to check.

In-house logs

The checks your inspector expects to see written down, like monthly emergency light tests, kept with dates and initials instead of on a clipboard.

A replacement budget

Install year and typical service life become a 1 to 3 year and 3 to 10 year budget, so owners can plan for a new boiler instead of being surprised by one.

Repairs that follow the serial number

Scan a unit's plate when you fix it. Its history stays with it, even after it moves rooms, so a lemon is easy to spot.

Your whole team

Owners, managers, technicians and view-only accounts. Limit people to the locations they work at, and assign tasks to the right person.

Reports owners can read

A weekly summary, a full Excel workbook and a plain owner report with what's done, what's late and what's coming.

Every location at a glance

Run one building or twenty. The portfolio view shows which ones are on schedule and which need attention.

Your data stays yours

Daily backups, and a full download whenever you want it. If you leave, your records leave with you.

Starts with what your kind of building has.

Pick your building type and BuildKeep suggests a starter equipment list with a PM plan for each item. Uncheck what you don't have and you're running in minutes.

  • Hotels and lodging
  • Manufacturing plants
  • Retail stores
  • Gas stations and convenience
  • Schools
  • Apartment buildings
  • Offices and high-rises
  • Hospitals and clinics

  • Restaurants
  • Places of worship
  • Anything else

AI that earns its keep.

BuildKeep uses AI to read data plates and write PM plans, but only when it costs less than your engineer's time to do the same job by hand. Each job is priced before it runs and stays under a monthly cap, so your price never changes.

Rather not use AI at all? Turn it off. You still get BuildKeep's built-in plans for common equipment, and you type the plate details in yourself.

Simple pricing, by building size.

Built by someone who does the job.

BuildKeep was built by a working hotel maintenance engineer in Missouri, the only maintenance person on the property, to keep one building's equipment on schedule without relying on memory.

Now it can keep yours.
