Maintenance

Introduction

This section deals with maintenance and its relationship to other planning and policy issues. 

A building is an asset that needs to be maintained to ensure that its value is not eroded.  Building occupiers need to appreciate that buildings are a resource and that these assets need to be protected just as any other form of asset or resource does.  

The challenge facing the Estates office is to assess current building condition and plan a programme of repairs and improvements which is consistent with the estates strategy and which will ensure the continual maintenance of the estate. Adequate provision will also have to be made in the financial forecasts of the Institute to meet these needs.
