At an international school, the condition of the buildings shapes the learning experience, student safety and the school’s reputation. Working with a professional maintenance contractor keeps systems running, limits risk and controls long-term cost. TECO, which designs and builds education facilities, provides an international school maintenance service through its maintenance division, TECO MSC.

Why do international schools need professional maintenance?
Student safety
International schools are used intensively and have specialised areas: labs, libraries, kitchens, sports halls and pools. Without proper maintenance, risks of fire, electrical faults, poor air quality, slippery floors and failed equipment increase. A professional contractor checks every system against a set checklist.
Less disruption to teaching
Breakdowns during class time affect students and parents. Professional maintenance helps to:
- Find risks early
- Fix faults quickly
- Carry out servicing on schedule, mostly during school breaks
Longer life for facilities, lower long-term cost
Planned maintenance costs less than repairing after failure. MEP, HVAC, lighting, ceilings, floors and teaching equipment that are serviced properly last longer.
Compliance with Vietnamese regulations and school standards
- Safety requirements
- Fire protection regulations
- Indoor air quality in classrooms
- Hygiene and safety in kitchens

A better experience for parents
Clean, well-run facilities with no damp smells and no breakdowns build parents’ trust, which matters for enrolment and retention.
