Keeping the building working.
Every user of a space is also a facility manager. Whether you own the building, manage the estate, work on the third floor or rent the shop downstairs — if you notice a fault, you can report it, track it and see it fixed by a verified technician.

00 — The idea
Every user of a space is a facility manager.
Buildings are not maintained by one person in an office. The people inside notice the fault first. MAINTELA gives every occupant a structured way to raise it, and gives owners and managers a single record of everything raised.
Tenants & residents
Report the leak or dead AC from your phone, then follow progress.
Staff & occupants
Flag faults in your office, floor or shared facility as you see them.
Managers & owners
Triage everything raised, approve quotations and control spend.
Technicians
Receive clear, verified work with the asset history attached.
01 — The problem
Maintenance still runs on phone calls and WhatsApp.
When a building develops a fault, facility managers fall back on personal contacts. The result is delay, inconsistent pricing, unverifiable technicians and no reliable maintenance record.
Slow response
Faults escalate while a technician is being chased down.
No price discipline
Every job is negotiated from scratch, with no paper trail.
Unverified trades
Nothing confirms a technician's identity or qualification.
Lost history
Records live in chat threads, not in the building's file.
