This worksheet runs the quarterly review against records rather than impressions. It is short by design: a review that takes an afternoon does not happen four times a year.
Complete it with the documentation log and the quarter's inspection records in front of you.

1. Zone Calibration
The core of the review. For each zone serviced this quarter, what condition was it in immediately before the crew arrived?
| Zone | Current interval | Condition at service date | Adjust? | New interval | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Still clearly acceptable at the service date means the interval is longer than needed. Already unacceptable means it is too short. Unacceptable again within weeks of service means a source is operating that frequency will not fix.
2. Reactive Work Analysis
| Reactive item | Zone | Cause | Would a frequency change have prevented it? | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|
3. Recurring Findings
Anything appearing in three consecutive inspections at the same location is a source condition rather than a maintenance lapse.
| Finding | Location | Appearances | Suspected source | Correction owner |
|---|---|---|---|---|
4. Vendor Performance This Quarter
| Measure | This quarter | Last quarter | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Windows committed / met | |||
| Punch items raised | |||
| Documentation received unprompted | |||
| Condition observations reported | |||
| Non-routine turnaround |
5. Deferral Register Review
| Item | Band | Has it moved? | Still deferrable? | Next review |
|---|---|---|---|---|
6. Next Quarter
| Scheduled work | Zone | Timing | Window requirement | Dependencies |
|---|---|---|---|---|
7. Rolling Twelve-Month View
Looking only one quarter ahead produces budget surprises. Capital-adjacent items have long lead times and appear in inspection records well before they become urgent.
| Anticipated item | Condition observed | Est. timing | Operating / capital | Flagged to |
|---|---|---|---|---|
The Five Questions This Answers
- Which zones were unacceptable before their service? Shorten those.
- Which were still comfortably acceptable? Extend those and redirect the budget.
- Which conditions recurred rather than resolved? Those need source correction.
- What reactive work occurred, and would a frequency change have prevented it?
- What is coming in the next twelve months that needs flagging now?
Why Quarterly
Annual review is too coarse to catch changing condition, and monthly is rarely sustained. The quarter is the interval at which condition has changed enough to be informative and the review is short enough that it actually happens four times.
Properties running this consistently tend to converge on a materially better schedule within two or three cycles, because the adjustments are evidence-based rather than negotiated.

What should a quarterly maintenance review cover?
Zone calibration from condition observed immediately before each service, reactive work and whether frequency would have prevented it, recurring findings indicating source conditions, vendor performance measures, deferral register changes, next quarter's schedule, and a rolling twelve-month view so capital items surface early.
Why review quarterly rather than annually or monthly?
Annual is too coarse to catch changing condition and monthly is rarely sustained. The quarter is the interval at which condition has changed enough to be informative while the review stays short enough to actually happen four times a year.
How long should a quarterly review take?
Thirty to sixty minutes against records rather than impressions. A review that takes an afternoon does not happen four times a year, which is why the worksheet is deliberately short and why the documentation log matters — it does the gathering in advance.
