Design for Maintainability\n\nMaintainability is a measure of the ease and ability with which maintenance actions or activities can becarried out. A lack of maintainability considerations at the onset of project often creates avoidablemaintenance demands which can lead to higher upkeep costs and manpower needs.  \n“Design for Maintainability (DfM)” encompasses the specific measures taken during planning and design tominimise the occurrence of building defects and the expenditure of man-hours and materials to fulfil themaintenan","cbCaikJTXdeCcEqt","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikJTXdeCcEqt","pdf",5574391,218,"English","# Integrated Planning & Design – Design for Maintainability Taskforce\n## Maintainability Technical Guide (Existing Building) Revision Log\n## Chapter 1: Principles & Assessment Approach\n### 1.
