Description

This document has been based on the results of a sponsorship research project entitled Choice of Maintenance Methodology. The aims of this project were to undertake a state of the art review of maintenance practices used by building users and to make recommendations on the most effective systems. This document considers the choices and policies that are part of building services maintenance, profiles of the organisations involved as end-users and providers, aspects o f specifying maintenance and recommendations for building users. It also contains two appendices. One is an overview of maintenance practices in other European countries. The other details a theoretical approach to determining optimum maintenance frequencies for an item of plant based on twenty three variables that will affect the whole life cost of that item. The main conclusions of the research were: The maintenance of building services is gaining in importance with increased business reliance on the building services and safety legislation requiring work to carried out and records to be kept. Most building owners would like to take a more objective approach towards their maintenance with improved management (including increased use of computers) and techniques such as condition based maintenance. However there is little guidance, resources or services available. Whilst the use of third party maintenance (contractors) is increasing in all sectors for many reasons (often financially based), there is considerable dissatisfaction with the services being provided. The contract side of the industry recognise a number of their short-comings and are addressing some of them such as training needs and producing standard specifications, but in a time of recession the commercial aspects of keen competition have to take priority. There is no standard solution, each organisation must determine its own maintenance requirements that relate to the particular building it occupies, the use to which the building is put and the business needs of the occupants. Unfortunately, in a great many cases, particularly where the building services are simple (and often over engineered), the maintenance is given very low priority. It is often poorly managed and under resourced. Very few organisations have stated objectives and little idea of what they are trying to achieve. It is hoped that this document provides some assistance in improving the maintenance of building services by providing some firm recommendations about the choices and decisions that should be made o n how to approach maintenance, who should carry out the work, the factors that affect the level of service and measurement of performance.
