Everything You Need for Property Maintenance

The KH Card File is an established part of Finnish property management guidance. It brings together working methods based on practical experience and expert knowledge.

When reliable information and proven guidance are readily available, you do not need to spend time searching for or interpreting them. Instead, you can focus on what matters most: making the right decisions and improving customer experience.

The KH Card File does not replace design work or contractual documentation—it supports them by providing a dependable foundation for day-to-day decisions.

Comprehensive Guidance

A broad collection of instructions for property maintenance and renovation, including:

  • Systematic property management
  • Specification and procurement of property services
  • Preparation of requests for quotations, service descriptions, and documentation

The service also includes guidance for completing contracts and other documents, as well as links to property-management-related documents in Rakennustieto’s Contract Documents Service.

Practical Tools and Support

Concrete tools for planning and implementing property maintenance:

  • Assessment of repair needs and project initiation
  • Maintenance planning and lifecycle management
  • Determination of technical service lives and maintenance intervals
  • Maintenance manuals, resident guides, and housing company reports

The service also includes digital tools such as the Raku application, which supports the preparation of legally required maintenance-needs assessments and maintenance plans.

Regulations

The service compiles key property-management-related regulations in one place:

  • Legislation
  • Official authority guidance
  • Regulations and decisions

All easily searchable and readily available.

Product Information for Planning Support
