A campus has one genuine maintenance window a year. Everything that needs an unoccupied building — coil cleaning, boiler and chiller service, roof work, asbestos-adjacent work, major electrical — has to happen inside it. The window is fixed and immovable, which makes shutdown planning a scheduling problem more than a technical one: work not sequenced into it waits a full year.
The steps ChatterFix schedules for this PM. Every step is a checkable item on the work order — a technician can speak their way through it without touching a keyboard.

Deferred maintenance compounds on an annual cycle, and buildings degrade in visible steps rather than gradually. The specific hazard of the shutdown itself is water: domestic systems standing idle for weeks in a warm building are a textbook Legionella growth condition, so a campus that skips the flush reopens with a genuine health risk in its taps and showers.
Annual, planned months ahead. The work list should be built continuously through the year from deferred work orders rather than assembled in May — the constraint is the window, and nothing about it is negotiable.
This procedure — and every other PM for your industry — is already built into ChatterFix. Pick your industry and it lands on the right equipment, on the right interval, in about three minutes.
