FAQ
How do I create a maintenance budget?
You create a maintenance budget by starting with last year's spend broken down by category (HVAC, plumbing, electrical) and location. Budget software lets you set annual, quarterly, or monthly allocations, then tracks actual spending against those targets in real time. You can allocate different amounts to each location based on size, age, or equipment type instead of treating everything the same.
What's the difference between CapEx and OpEx tracking?
The difference between CapEx and OpEx tracking is what they measure. Capital expenses (CapEx) are major purchases like replacing an entire HVAC system or renovating a kitchen. Operating expenses (OpEx) are ongoing repairs and maintenance like fixing a leaky faucet or servicing equipment.
Tracking them separately helps you plan for big projects without blowing your maintenance budget and shows you the split between keeping things running versus major upgrades.
How do I track spend across multiple locations?
You track spend across multiple locations using ResQ Budget software, which gives you a single dashboard showing spending for all locations side by side.
You can see which sites are burning through budget faster, compare spending patterns, and reallocate funds if one location needs more help. Spotting outliers is easier when you see 15 locations spending $5,000/month on HVAC and one spending $15,000.
What reports help with budget planning?
Reports that help with budget planning include year-over-year comparison reports that show seasonal patterns like higher HVAC spend in summer, budget vs. actual variance reports that highlight where you're overspending, and category breakdowns that reveal what eats most of your budget. Use these to build next year's budget based on real data instead of guessing.
