Abstract
Government buildings, similar to any other structure, require regular maintenance to retain the original and ensure that they perform their functions. Building maintenance is separated into two areas building maintenance management and building maintenance technology. Building maintenance management must be looked at precisely as unfolding how a system of maintenance initiative might be planned to deal with a building maintenance problem. There are a few factors that influence the decision to accomplish the maintenance work. The study focused on assessing a few selected factors affecting public building maintenance based on user perspective in order to develop an effective public building maintenance strategy.
A survey will be undertaken based on previous literature among building maintenance professionals. The research will enhance the body of knowledge about factors affecting maintenance management of public buildings.
