Building Maintenance Method

Building maintenance involves all activities needed to keep facilities and equipment in good working order. It includes substructure work like foundations and floors, superstructure like walls and roofs, finishes, fittings, and services like plumbing, electricity, and HVAC. Common maintenance methods are predictive/preventive maintenance to address issues before they become serious, operational maintenance during equipment use, and corrective maintenance after breakdown. Predictive maintenance of fire systems, emergency generators, and security systems is especially important and involves checking components monthly or annually for issues like battery charge, wiring connections, and overall condition.
