Core Topic Details & Overview:-
The book primarily addresses the post-construction lifecycle of building facilities, focusing on bridging the information gap between construction knowledge and long-term asset management. It provides comprehensive guidelines for identifying, preventing, and rectifying structural or architectural decay.
  • Understanding Building Decay: Outlines why buildings deteriorate over time, focusing on atmospheric agents, moisture ingress, design errors, and the natural lifecycle of structures.
  • Categories of Maintenance: Explores operational upkeeping, divided systematically into:
    • Day-to-day/Routine maintenance (handling immediate issues like plumbing chokes or electrical switches).
    • Annual or periodic maintenance (planned cycles such as regular exterior and interior painting).
    • Preventive maintenance (systematic inspection routines to check items like handrails before failure occurs).
    • Special repairs (replacing heavy or significantly aged structural elements like entire doors, windows, or plaster systems).

  • Common Building Defects: Covers the diagnosis of major problems including wall cracks (structural vs. non-structural), efflorescence caused by capillary action, and water-related dampness.
  • Remediation and Repair Techniques: Offers field-tested practices for patching plaster, sealing cracks, fixing faulty joints, servicing essential building utilities (ventilation, water supply, lifts), and selecting appropriate construction repair materials.
