- Maintenance
action to be undertaken when building or facility readiness condition is 75% to 85%. It does not involve the restoration of structural strength of the building.
Minor Repair
action to be undertaken when building or facility readiness condition is below 75%. Its main purpose is to carry out structural repairs to load bearing elements. It may involve cutting portions of the elements and rebuilding them or simply adding more structural material so that the original strength is more or less restored.
Major Repair
applies to that work which is required to upgrade, or otherwise improve the general condition of facilities. It includes, but is not limited to, all minor construction; changes in facilities configuration; fabrication, modification, removal, or installation of hardware and equipment; signs; erection, relocation, or removal of partitions, doors, and windows; and changes in type of finishes and flooring materials
