“…The Government has also given instructions to all their agencies to carry out maintenances of all their building in the very early stage so that to reduce the cost of maintenances and to avoid risk of higher maintenance cost due to negligent through time. But, very less attention has been given on building maintenance budget and it is very rare to see research carried out on the subject of maintenance expenditure, funding or financial budget of maintenance work [14]. In year 2006 repair and maintenance works constituted 16% of the total Malaysian construction output as reported by CIDB (2007).…”

Abstract. Building maintenance is essential in preserving buildings' appearance and performance. It needs to upkeep the building performance to prolong its value and building life cycle. Malaysia is still lacking in managing cost for building operation and maintenance. It has been found that the cost for housing maintenance is high due to poor maintenance practices. In order to get better understanding on how to manage the cost, this study reviews the contributing factors that affecting operation and maintenance cost of stratified buildings in Malaysia. The research first identified the factors through extensive literature review and scrutinize on factors that affecting and can minimize operation and maintenance cost. This literature review offers insight into building maintenance scenario in Malaysia focusing on the issues and challenges. The study also finds that operation and maintenance cost for housing in Malaysia is still in poor state. Interestingly, this paper revealed that operation and maintenance cost is also influenced by three significant factors like expectation of tenants, building characteristics and building defects. Measures to reduce the housing operation and maintenance cost are also highlighted so that this study can be a stepping stone towards proposing efficient and effective facilities management strategies for affordable housing in future.

“…However, a key objective of a maintenance process of residential buildings remains planning renovations and providing funds for their implementation. Examples of methods for budgeting are presented in the works of Christen et al (2014) and Mohd-Noor et al (2011). An innovative solution based on numerous statistical analyses covering empirical maintenance costs is socalled PABI Budgeting Tool (Practical, Adaptive Budgeting of Maintenance Measures) presented in the work (Bahr, Lennerts 2010).…”

Abstract. The problem of multi-family building maintenance is complex and comprises numerous issues, one of which is the process of planning expenditures for residential building renovation. This task is important from the manager's point of view as their responsibility is to maintain a building in a non-deteriorated condition. To fulfil this task, the authors of this paper suggest utilising a decisionmaking model aimed at defining renovation activities making it possible to retain the maintenance standard (as regards newly commissioned residential buildings) or improve it (as regards existing buildings). The suggested model is based on a multi-criteria building assessment including seven requirements. The calculations conducted using the suggested model enable us to define the costs and scope of renovation taken to ensure the assumed building condition or, by assuming various rates paid to the renovation reserve, to define the period in which the above-mentioned goals may be achieved.

“…Therefore, building managers or owners are responsible for management and allocation of assessment costs for good management outcome [5]. Many components and facilities investment strategies lack of enough cost for components managers during its service life [6]. Hence, estimations and computations for assessment costs planning and allocation is difficult and complex [7].…”

In the last decades, Facility Management (FM) has established itself as a key building service factor.FM includes supporting services and organizing functions essential for maintaining, operating and managing physical component and material. The purpose of the paper is to develop an economical analysis for building facilities management during its service life based on limited cost. This method helps to facilities managers and engineers to make better decisions for reducing of facilities assessment costs and increasing the facilities' service life. This paper presents the preliminary development of a model involves three stages process namely data collection, economic computation and economic process optimization. This process was tested for fiberglass doors example in a building interior and exterior system. If executives can manage essential points effectively and make decisions according to a key performance index, cost can be optimized and safety can be enhanced for installation building.
