Maintenance costs

The term building maintenance refers to the so-called usability preservation of a property. In principle, this can be distinguished between the costs of the core construction activity (investment costs) and the costs of the maintenance (upkeep costs). On the one hand, the upkeep costs comprise the regular maintenance and repair of buildings. On the other hand, however, cleaning and the supply of electricity, water, and gas to the building, as well as winter servicing, fall under maintenance costs. Due to the long-term life cycle of a property, these are higher than the core construction costs.
