A Building Maintenance Unit (BMU) is a permanent mechanical system installed on a building to provide controlled access to the façade for cleaning, inspection, maintenance, and repair. Depending on the building’s design and requirements, BMUs may include systems such as roof-mounted machines, tracks, cradles, monorails, and other access equipment.

Can Vonotec inspect our building before providing a quotation?

Yes. Depending on the building configuration and scope of work, façade maintenance may be carried out using rope access, temporary access systems, davit systems, or other suitable methods. Our team can assess the building and recommend an appropriate access solution.
