Maintenance and Repair
Maintenance and Repair involve the upkeep and restoration of buildings, systems, equipment, or infrastructure to ensure safety, functionality, and longevity. These activities are essential in both residential and commercial/industrial settings and are part of a facility or asset management strategy.
Maintenance departments are responsible for ensuring the effectiveness, functionality, and longevity of an organization’s physical assets, including equipment, machinery, vehicles, building systems, facilities, and infrastructure. This means an effective maintenance department will handle both the maintenance and repair of physical assets. While these concepts are closely related, there are a few important distinctions between maintenance and repair.
