1 | PageExecutive summaryWhen buildings stay for long, defects tend to occur. The construction and design of buildings and structures are done for specified timeline, known as design life. As this time approaches, defects are able to appear and it is key for remedymethods to be carried out in order to bring back the buildings and structures to their correct status. Different methods do apply in order to rectify such abnormalities and defects on the buildings. This paper will analyze the different defects which are able to happen on Auchmuty Library Building. The paper will look at the scope and different measures of the maintenance to the defects. This paper will then analyze the scope of maintenance and the solutions which can be applied to rectify the defects. Lastly, the paper will organize a section of the maintenance cost of the different approached which can be applied. IntroductionDefects are likely to occur when the buildings and structures are under use or not under use. Auchmuty Library Building has been able to experience different defects on different sections and there are needs to identify proper solutions which can be used to enhance the operation of the building. Different defects such as the pavement status, roof status, ceiling, electric section, and floor and tiling sections have different defects, which require maintenance. Different methods and solutions can be derived to solve such remedies and they can be used to enhance the operations. Additionally, the different methods are able to attract different cost factors and the maintenance cost part will analyze the cost which is likely to be incurred when different methods are adopted. Scope of workItemphoto numberDefect Scope of maintenance Remedial solution and technology use Maintenance program appropriate standards and statutory controls for maintenance workMaintenance cost1 Pavementdefects 1. Part of the system to have repair2. Whole replacement of the pavement system1. There is need to change the pavement material. The materialsfrom the levelling materials can be changed and provided with proper materials (Perevostchikov& Skupov, 2005). In addition, the pavement blocks can be changed to provided better quality which is more durable than the existing concrete pavement blocks. 2. Additional steps can be addedto ensure that the leveling of the works is made easier. The existing parts are too steep to provide better view3. using of concrete pavement onthe whole section (Barry, 2001). This will be able to offer a durable solution which will last for longer time. the section need Removal of the available sections, levelling andthen placing another pavement materialsProper drainage has to be achieved and this required proper levelling. This is achieved through proper provision of proper steps and landings for the sections. Large paving blocks can be provided which will Solution 1:Replacing the pavementmaterials at the top onlyat $12 per square meter and with $8 per hour workmanshipSolution 2:Addition of more aggregates and ensuringfurther steps and levelling and placing and returning the removed paving blocks.This will help to enhance the aesthetic and drainage parameters of the are provided.

This will have a total of$55 for the whole working with an additional $5 for decorations (Reis, 2015).2Ceiling defect Repainting of roof topReplacing the ceiling top withnew ceiling material1. Repainting of the ceiling top. The ceiling top color can be repainted to make it more lasting. A proper repainting paintwhich is able to last for long can be chosen and be used in the repainting. 2. Replacing the ceiling with new design such as plastic ceiling. Another ceiling material,which is durable and able to withstand harsh conditions, can be chosen for the part (In Fisher, 2012). Plastic ceilings are more durable, they are able to withstand such harsh climate, and harsh conditions and they will only require proper cleaning.Dampness: excessive water is entering into the ceiling probably may due to leaking roof deterioration or rising damp result of defective damp proof courses (Hendry and Khalaf, 2001). This will affect the ceiling part and make it wet especially for some key types of ceiling such as board ceiling Removal of the available ceiling, check the strength of the materials of holding ceilingand then placing another ceilingThe ceiling sections has to remain clear and durable. The maintenance of the ceiling is able to depend on thequality and materials which the ceiling is made of (Perevostchikov & Skupov,2005). Provision for the PVC ceiling materials is able to enhance the maintained from harsh situation and weather conditions such as water and their easyon Solution 1:Repainting of the ceiling top with a durable paint on the affected section at a cost of $15 per sq. meter. Solution 2:Replacing the ceiling top with new ceiling which is durable. This will depend on the type of ceiling chosen.Using PVC ceiling which will cost $50 per sq. meter for the procurement and installation (Reis, 2015).

This can be done on the affected part whereby a small trench on the affected part will be made. Then a concrete mortar will be used to repair the cracked part. 2. many of the cracks are able to originate from the bottom of the wall due to the existence of a large plant root (Continuing Education of the Bar—California, 1998). This means that the root has to be trimmed and cut to prevent it creating more cracks to the building. In another case, if the crack is resulting from a root cause, the unplugging of the root can be another key option which can be adopted to solve the cracking problem (Barry, 2001). Using of the motor will then be used to resolve the problem after the uprooting of the root. Making a trench on the wall section and then using mortarto cover the cracked section. The building wall should free from the cracks (Nikles et al., 2013). The bonding section is a key factor which is able to prevent thecracking of the wall. Moreover, engaging on proper maintenance aspects is ableto enhance the durability of the walls. The cracks can be traced from the root and the main cause be identified andthen resolved.Solution 1: Amending the crack on the wall is one of the solution which can be implemented on this section. Repointing of the wall can be done to rectify the remedy on this section. A cost of $8 per square meter canbe incurred in the rectification of the problem (Reis, 2015).Solution 2:If the problem is able tooriginate from tree rootsunderneath the wall, removal of the root will be the first think which will happen. This can be carried at a cost of $500 per tree which is causing the problem. Infilling g of the wall section will then be carried out to ensure that the crack is rectified. This can be carried at a cost of $300which is able to cover the cost of the workmanship and materials (Lucey, 2009). 9floorTiling Placing new tiles 1. Fresh placement of the tiles onthe washroom parts. New and fresh tiles need to be placed on the washroom section (Smolira & Great Britain, 1972). The section has only bear floor and need to have the tile placed for it to look more attractive and increase the aesthetic parts. Hacking the floor section and then placing the tile sectioFloor tiles canbe provided on the washroom section to make it more attractive and increase the aesthetic factors of the Solution 1:Procurement and placing of new tiles on the washroom section. This will cost $150 per sq. meter for the floor tiling. In addition an additional cost of $30 per sq. meter to cater for the additional

Hanging electric cables can be dangerous and can cause electric shock anytime (National Business Institute, 2012). The major way to resolve this is trenching the wall and then placing the cable inside the trench. Then mortar will be used to cover up the trench on the walland therefore offer a safety placement of the wall. Making a trench on the section, placing a pipe and then placing the electric cableStandard placement of the cable must be done (Allensworth,2009). It mustbe care to ensure that the wall is kept safe from any danger of destruction. Solution 1:Trenching and using pipe to place the electric cable will be the perfect solution. The cost of making the trench and using pipe toplace the cable can be done at a cost of $89 which will cover the manpower and the cost of procuring the available equipment (Architecture 2009).Solution 2:Rewiring of the house is another key solution which can be implemented. This can be carried out a cost of $7000. An additional cost of $2000 is added for adjoining the services and creating the relevant areas wherethe wiring will pass through. 17RoofCleaning and The roof section on this section CleaniClean and Solution 1:
