Life-care strategies
If pro-active life-care is preferred, there are many possible strategies to chose between, for example:
| Minimal: low inspection, maintenance and replacement or repair levels |
- A building or structure in an inaccessible location, for example a house in a remote, rural location.
|
- A building or structure with few component parts, for example a harbour wall
|
| Regular: routine inspection, routine maintenance and planned repair or replacement |
- A building or structure continuously in use where major works cause significant disruption, for example a manufacturing building.
|
- A building or structure with a high anticipated residual value at a defined period of tenure, for example a new railway station.
|
| Phased: low inspection, routine maintenance and repair or replacement. |
- A building or structure where meeting the performance requirements is essential to the function of the building, for example a building housing the central processing units of a major clearing bank.
|
- A building or structure where regular replacement of components will prove more cost effective than routine maintenance, for example, replacement of a roofing system, heating systems and air conditioning units in a shopping mall to be conducted simultaneously with major refurbishment of shops every 10 years when tenancy agreements terminate.
