BSIRA presents the fourth edition of AG 4/89.2 Maintenance Contracts for Building Engineering Services to reflect changes in regulations and working practices. Click here for the free pdf download.
Although written with services maintenance contracts in mind, the guidance can be used equally for both fabric and grounds maintenance. It also explains quite clearly the different forms of maintenance. The guidance is presented in four logical stages of the process to achieve successful maintenance contracts - contract development; specification and schedule; tender and evaluation; and monitoring and control. Appendices list statutory plant inspections, statutory testing frequency check sheets; and documentation to be held by the building owner or occupier.
