Underhållsplanering - En studie om en bostadsförenings arbete med sin underhållsplan

Sammanfattning: Today, housing in Sweden is facing major maintenance needs, particularly those built during the Million Program. Many of these properties are owned by housing cooperatives that have to carry out extensive maintenance, to ensure that future generations have the opportunity to have attractive and sustainable housing. This requires maintenance planning that involves what and when maintenance will be performed, and how much it will cost. An important tool for maintenance planning is a plan that can maintain the properties’ quality and value. However, there is a lack of knowledge about maintenance plans and their importance in the long term property management. This candidate's work illuminates maintenance plans and examines how housing cooperative works with and follows up their plan in practice. Because many property owners neglect their maintenance plan, this study is meant to analyze improvements that make optimal plan to work with in the long term. Based on conducted interviews, the study has shown that the housing cooperative is actively working with their maintenance plan which involves annual inspection-rounds of all properties, and also has a budgetary provision for future maintenance. One key point is that the union is actively working to make the plan more manageable, which is done by transformation from CD to Excel based files. The study also shows that the main basis for long term optimal work with a maintenance plan is to make it easier to manage, which can be achieved by creating or transforming the plan to digitized data systems.
