System maintenance and upkeep of the building is a mechanism of action that should be developed by the manager in making use of the building. The system is supported by several aspects as follows:
a) The pattern of maintenance and upkeep;
b) The organization implementing the maintenance and upkeep;
c) The scope of maintenance and upkeep; and
d) Funding for maintenance and upkeep.
Aspects of the above does not stand alone but be a completeness in building systems maintenance and upkeep.
Pattern Maintenance and Care
Maintenance and care is a form of activity that is done to keep a building is always in a state of ready-made, or actions make improvements to the condition of the building can be reused. Maintenance is done regularly and periodically, will minimize maintenance of buildings in the long term. This guide divides the maintenance and upkeep of the building.
1) Maintenance of buildings
Maintenance is a preventive measure that is action on the building is done regularly and can also be at a certain time interval with some pre-determined criteria. Maintenance is divided into:
i. Routine maintenance is the maintenance activities are carried out continuously, both are daily / weekly / monthly, some examples of routine maintenance activities such as:
Cleaning of floor space; and window sills, roof ceiling and walls etc.
Cleaning the toilet, bathtub, floor and wall toilet, tub, laboratories etc.
Cleaning gutters and sewers.
Cleaning gutters drain school.
ii. Periodic maintenance is another step in building action according to predetermined periodicity, some examples of activities include:
Repair and Painting walls.
Repairs and repainting doors and window frames.
Replacement tiles or other roof coverings.
Service and the addition of freon gas in the air-conditioning unit
2) Maintenance of buildings
Nursing is a follow up to the preventive maintenance measures that have been done, where the repair and / or replacement of part of the building is done so that a permanent building worthy function. Patterns of care that are held is:
1) Rehabilitation
Improve some parts of the building that had been damaged then
to be used in accordance with its function.
2) Renovation
Repair of the building which was partially destroyed by heavy keep it fit the original function, in which a change in the architecture, structure and utility of the building can be customized. In the implementation of building maintenance requires the input and recommendations of the technical team (consultants) or the Technical Office, related to construction assessment which includes the extent of damage, technical and methodological improvement, working drawings and cost estimates.
Calculation of the estimated cost of repairs and retrofitting of buildings based on the following assumptions:
3) Components of buildings and building components weight, calculated for the building
4) Building area calculated in areas where repairs and retrofitting of buildings implemented.
5) Unit price per square meter building that is used is the unit price for new building in force at that time in an area.
6) The estimated cost of building maintenance is calculated with the following approach:
Maintenance Cost Estimation Building size X = Σ% weight of component X Price unit building
Where:
The building area is the area of the building that counts on building maintenance area (m2).
The percentage weight of building components, set at weights which components are included in the maintenance plan.
The unit price per square meter building that counts (USD / m2)
Estimated cost is an approach to the budget plan that needs to be allocated for the repair and strengthening of buildings. To illustrate the calculation of estimated costs, will be given an example of the calculation for the cost of repairs and retrofitting of buildings related to the building maintenance program.
