The importance of this reference to facilities managers, professionals and architects.
An effective maintenance program is the only answer to lengthening the life and value of investments in buildings and related facilities.
Defects, however, are seldom detected before they become obvious. When this happens, repairs must be made on a rush basis, at high cost.
The result is that unbudgeted expenses must be paid, and at worst, the facility is put out of service while repairs are made — often for extended periods of time.
Means Facilities Maintenance Standards is oriented toward locating deterioration and material and systems failures before they become serious. Special attention is given to the causes and correction or repair of both common and uncommon defects.
Because many maintenance problems and material failures are related to engineering and design decisions, the book is an invaluable aid to architects, engineers and designers as well as facilities professionals.
