Warranties
A warranty is only worth something if someone remembers it before it runs out. Fidrel keeps every warranty and service contract in one register, dates the one-year correction period from substantial completion, and notifies the entry’s author and project admins when its notice period begins.
30 days free · No long-term contract.
The correction period runs a year from substantial completion. If nobody puts the walk-through on the calendar, defects found in month thirteen fall outside the correction period, and getting the contractor back to fix them gets much harder.
Roof, HVAC and elevator warranties each have their own term and vendor, buried in manuals that were turned over at closeout. When equipment fails, nobody can find out quickly whether it is still covered.
The register holds warranties, service contracts, maintenance contracts, leases, insurance and other agreements. Each entry records the vendor, the contract number, the start and end dates, a notice period in days, the annual cost and currency, the trade it belongs to, a linked asset and a linked document. A daily check finds every entry whose notice period has begun.
Operations
The Warranty dates button turns the substantial completion date into the eleven-month walk-through and the end of the one-year correction period. They become entries in the register like any other warranty, with their own notice periods, so the walk-through can be scheduled before the year is up.
Step 1
Enter the substantial completion date. Fidrel dates the eleven-month walk-through and the end of the one-year correction period, and adds them to the register as entries with end dates.
Step 2
Add every warranty and service contract with its vendor, contract number, start and end dates, notice period, annual cost, trade, linked asset and the supporting document.
Step 3
When a notice period starts, the person who added the entry and the project administrators get a notification in Fidrel, in time to schedule the walk-through or renegotiate the contract.
Each asset in the asset register can carry a warranty-through date, an OmniClass or MasterFormat classification code, its manufacturer, model and serial number. The overview shows up to five asset warranties ending in 90 days. Warranties, assets and inspections can belong to a trade, such as HVAC, plumbing or fire and life safety, and each trade has an owner, a vendor and a folder.
Notifications appear in Fidrel only; no email or SMS reminders are sent. An asset’s warranty-through date sends no reminder; the overview shows the five soonest within 90 days. The warranty and service contract register cannot be exported or printed; the asset list, with each asset’s warranty-through date, downloads as Excel or PDF, and its labels with a QR code open an asset in Fidrel for someone who is signed in and has access.
