Preventive Maintenance For Buildings

 

 

The people whose responsibility is to maintain buildings constructed by others have always been challenged for several reasons.

Buildings are aging at a rate much faster than it is being replaced. This means that there are older buildings each year, that their components are expected to last longer than they expected to, and many buildings are used for purposes that were not designed for. These factors will increasingly stress the constructed buildings environment, and place even greater demand on facility management professionals to deliver increasing value for the repair and maintenance costs.

The other factor, which is more important, is the outcome of high-pressure development era. During this time the success of developed project was often measured by how inexpensive the building could be constructed and how quickly it would be occupied.  This means reduce construction costs and time on the expense of material and workmanship quality resulting in massive building damages.

Having adequate maintenance funding is only useful if the money is spent wisely.  The building or construction industry is replete with examples of bad maintenance decisions, from solving wrong problem to ignoring a small detail that later resulted in large damage to the building.

The best weapon the facility manager can have is knowledge: knowledge of the process by which buildings and their systems interact, use of replace/repair model, knowing when and how to apply predictive maintenance.
