Maintenance according to BS 3811(1984), is the combination of all technical and associated actions intended to retain an item or restore it to a state in which it can perform its required function.Building maintenance is an important programme for the sustainability of infrastructural development, as it plays an important role among other activities in the building operations (Zulkarnain et al., 2011).Adejimi (2005) avers that the primary objective of building maintenance is to preserve buildings in their initial functional, structural and aesthetic states.This is to ensure that such facilities continue to remain in such state, and retain their investment value over a long period of existence.Odediran et al. (2012) opine that the ability of a building to provide the required environment for a particular activity is a measure of its functionality.Therefore, as the components of a building begin to deteriorate, it becomes necessary to take measures to ensure that the desired characteristics of that facility, which provide safety and convenience, are retained.
Aluko et al. (Tue,) studied this question.
