Abstract
This paper layout the challenges and opportunities in establishing a framework for a conservation system that focuses on maintenance. The study highlighted the requirements for, and constraints of managing and maintaining heritage buildings. Three case studies were considered and in addition, seventeen experts’ interviews, comparative field observations and deliberate archival records were employed to bring out the initial framework. Using focus group discussions of seven experts, the framework was reviewed and validated in order to ensure the development of a model for an effective maintenance management plan and monitoring of heritage buildings. The research investigated how maintenance and monitoring can successfully be implemented as part of the conservation plan.
