Standard of Maintenance | |
 A Building Condition Audit will determine the overall maintenance rating for the building. The maintenance rating needs to compliment the standard desired by the organization. A maintenance effort must be established to close the gap between what is desired (standard) and what exists (rating). The maintenance ratings are: Rating “5” The facility is in “good” condition with everything in a well-maintained order. Irrespective of the age of the facility, Preventive Maintenance is being done, replacing fixtures and systems when needed, and the maintenance system are responding to all corrective maintenance. “As - built” or better condition is being achieved. Rating “4” The facility cannot be described as “good”, but it is better than just “satisfactory”. Deterioration has commenced but a few key maintenance projects could return the facility to a “5” rating. Conversely, if the projects were deferred, the rating could easily slip to a “3” rating Rating “3” The facility is only “satisfactory”. It is no longer being maintained to as-built standard and patch and repair maintenance is being performed as opposed to replacement. Although the maintenance system is reacting to trouble calls, routine items are being deferred. This condition may have resulted from a lack of funding, or simply because minimum standards are being met knowing that the facility will be replaced in the near future. |
