Forms of Terms of Contract for Maintenance of Public Buildings

Abstract

Housing is essential to the development and progress of a country. In Malaysia, the government has implemented numerous programmes to promote home ownership in response to the housing shortage. However, problems with building performance and condition continue to increase due to defects in the housing stock. This study examined the forms of procurement for building maintenance management for public housing by interviewing eight maintenance managers. According to the data, specialised contracts, repair and maintenance and fixed-term contracts are the most common forms of maintenance contracts.
