Abstract

Building maintenance is one of the critical issues that maintenance managers should prioritize. As a result, evaluating the performance status of maintenance is required to understand the reality of maintenance in construction projects and to ensure that maintenance meets the required goals and improves building preservation. Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate the state of building maintenance performance in construction projects. The field survey included preparing a list of the questionnaire, conducting a statistical analysis of a Sample Questionnaire, and discussing the results. Note that the research has achieved practical results The results showed that the average value for the axis (encouragement/development) reached (2.31), which is the lowest value in the questionnaire, showing that was an absence of professional development and employee training through a training course, as well lack to carry out follow-up work on the status of performance of the functions of the main building elements, in addition to the scarcity of taking into account the design, construction phase and how to perform maintenance, and therefore the failure to apply these factors will harm the process maintenance and efficiency.
