Maintenance consideration in buildingdesign.
Explaining the link between maintenance and building design suggests that four sectors of building design should be considered and regarded as important if one is to avoid the need for unplanned maintenance at the post-occupation stage. These sectors are:
The main fabric which includes walls, floors, roofs, doors and windows;
Internal finishes which includes ceiling and wall finishes as well as floors;
Special design features such as decorative elements for the doors, windows, glass, air vents and special brick and stone work;
The fourth and the last sector is cleaning and house keeping of all building components.
Link Between Design and Maintenance
The understanding of a good building design always relates to the shape of the
building and its appearances.
In many occasions, this perception has neglected the actual function of why the building was built in the first place. The inability of the building to serve its purpose has automatically ignored by the public because of the exotic and attractive design of the building without even considering for economic reasons, or for safety, usability and maintainability.

Without much objection, designers tend to spruced-up their buildings above ground with various shapes, some with spiraled forms, inclined, distorted, top heavy shaped and so forth which encourages high cost of maintenance.
