CHAPTER ONE
1.1 Background of the Study
Efficient property management is a critical aspect of real estate, ensuring tenant satisfaction and the long-term sustainability of housing estates. Maintenance requests, ranging from plumbing repairs to electrical fixes, are a recurring aspect of property management. However, traditional methods of handling these requests often involve manual logging, communication delays, and inefficient resource allocation, leading to tenant dissatisfaction and increased operational costs.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers solutions to these challenges through automation. AI-driven systems can streamline maintenance request processes by enabling tenants to report issues through smart platforms, which then prioritize, assign, and monitor the tasks automatically. These systems also use predictive analytics to identify potential maintenance issues before they escalate, ensuring proactive management.
In Sokoto State, housing estates face challenges in managing maintenance efficiently due to limited resources and outdated systems. This study explores the role of AI in automating maintenance requests, with a focus on improving efficiency, reducing costs, and enhancing tenant satisfaction in housing estates in Sokoto State.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Housing estates in Sokoto State struggle with inefficient maintenance management systems, resulting in delays, high costs, and tenant dissatisfaction. Manual processes are prone to errors and resource wastage. This study investigates how AI technologies can address these challenges by automating maintenance requests and enabling predictive maintenance.
