Introduction

• Maintenance is a generic term to include planned maintenance,


repair and reimbursement and provision of replacement of the
structure.
• The goal of maintenance is to sustain the life of major assets
whether building or infrastructure.
• British standard(BS 583) (1974) define maintenance as the
combination of all technical and associated administrative actions
intended to retain an item in, or restore it to, a state in which it can
perform its required function.
Introduction

Building maintenance is the combination of technical

and administrative actions to ensure the items and

elements of a building in an acceptable standard to

perform its required function. (British standard(BS 583), 1974)


Classification
Condition-based Maintenance Reliability centered maintenance
is maintenance when need arises is a process to ensure that assets continue to
Corrective maintenance do what their users require
is required when an item has failed or
worn out

Planned maintenance
is a scheduled service visit carried out
by a competent agent

Predictive maintenance
prediction when maintenance should be
performed
Preventive maintenance
performed specifically to prevent faults
from occurring
Objectives

 To extend the useful life of the buildings and prevent


premature capital outlay for replacement

 To provide a safe, secure and efficient working & living


environment and to avoid deterioration of physical assets

 To maximize the aesthetic and economic values of a building as


well as increase the health and safety of the occupants
Benefits

• The benefits can be short term or long term and can be reflected in the
areas of physical, financial or human resources.
A. Maintenance will preserve the physical characteristics of a building and
its services.
• fewer breakdowns and lower future maintenance costs,
• higher productivity,
• less wastage of materials and improve organization sales revenue.

B. The improved condition of the building gives positive effect to the


users resulting in lower staff turnover, better customer relation and
public image.
Maintenance Planning

• Maintenance planning should start at the design stage of any building


project and should continue throughout the life of that building.
• Many buildings are destroyed not by outside forces such as weathering
factors like heavy rains or drought but by insufficient/improper design
during the design stage, through bad housekeeping, inadequate
maintenance and neglect during its full operation.
• Minor problem which can grow into a major one through neglect, and
which can be multiplied in many buildings.
• All new buildings , as a matter of course, should be provided with a
maintenance manual.
Poor maintenance has resulted in damage and deterioration to this building
When buildings are neglected
Defects can occur which may result in extensive and avoidable damage to the
building fabric or equipment.
Importance

• It was important that buildings continue to be properly maintained to


ensure that they can function as efficiently and effectively as possible.
• The deterioration of buildings due to the lack of maintenance could
lead to future financial burdens, pose legal and other industrial
relations issues and affect the delivery of services
• Identifying building problems and understanding of building materials
and its mechanical and electrical systems are aspects of the process of
preserving and conserving building quality and to ensure the
efficiencies of the facilities
Need of a Maintenance Plan

• The main reason for a maintenance plan is that it is the most cost-
effective way to maintain the value of an asset.
• The advantages of a plan are:
• The property is organised and maintained in a systematic rather
than ad-hoc way;
• Building services can be monitored to assist their efficient use;
• The standard and presentation of the property can be
maintained;
• Subjective decision making and emergency corrective
maintenance are minimised.
Need of a Maintenance Plan

Preventive maintenance costs markedly less than repairing extensive damage or


building failures

Periodic Inspection Survey

• All properties should be inspected at regular intervals to identify


any deterioration and required maintenance work, including
cleaning.
• Maintenance was inappropriate or if there are design or material
defects.
• All records should maintained for reference.
• Advantageous to record the long-term performance of repair
materials and procedures in order to assess their suitability for
future maintenance work.
Maintenance Review

• The effectiveness of the maintenance work shall be reviewed regularly.

• An important part of the maintenance planning for a building is to

improve the previous decisions to maintain the asset so that

subsequent maintenance expenditure will be more effective

• Issues to consider when reviewing the work include:

• Was it necessary or appropriate

• The timing and standard

• Time frame of the planned maintenance work


Preparing Maintenance Budget

• Annual budgeted expenditure on maintenance can be of three


kinds:
• Committed expenditure, which includes tasks that occur every year as part
of planned maintenance, such as maintenance contracts;
• Variable expenditure, which includes regular tasks within an overall
program of planned maintenance that may not occur every year. The
building manager exercises some discretion and decides on priorities for
these tasks;
• Managed expenditure, which relates to unplanned maintenance works
carried out entirely at the building manager’s discretion
Preparing Maintenance Budget

• The aim of a maintenance budget is to reduce


managed expenditure over time as far as possible
and replace it with variable expenditure.
• Regular inspections can help by identifying how
components are performing and when they might
fail.
Preparing Program

At least two levels of programming are required:

 Long term maintenance


• Cycle, which can extend to 50 – 100 years of a building life

 Annual maintenance
• Annual inspection survey, day log book or diary and work carried
over from the previous year.
• The daily response system for carrying out urgent maintenance
should be upgraded annually.

Exercise
• Discuss the importance of concerning Maintenance aspect in
Design phase of a building.

• What particular maintenance concerns need to think in


design phase.
• If it is not happening what issues will occur in operational
stage of the building.
