About the Book

Answers virtually any question about facilities maintenance and repair -- helps you head off serious problems before they happen!

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.

Unique features of this one-of-a-kind working guide for facilities maintenance

  • comprehensive guidance for understanding and solving every imaginable maintenance problem
  • ready-to-use forms, checklists, worksheets and comparison tables
  • authoritative commentary explains what to do -- and why
  • analysis of materials systems, and the "why's" of deterioration and wear
  • concise help for planning, scheduling and controlling costs for maintenance
  • guidance for estimating maintenance and repair costs with man-hours, equipment and tools

Means Facilities Maintenance Standards -- planned and written to solve today's building and facilities maintenance problems

Means Facilities Maintenance Standards is an extremely valuable, working encyclopedia that points the way to solutions to every kind of maintenance and repair dilemma.

A comprehensive overview of the facilities management process.

Through a program of planned steps incorporating a process of elimination, almost any maintenance problem can be remedied at a reasonable cost.

The book steps you through a complete understanding of the underlying causes of wear and deterioration and shows you how to analyze the effects. Only then are you ready to proceed to the right repair solutions, and ultimately, the prevention of future trouble.
