This paper determined the indices suitable for maintainability analysis
with respect to public buildings so as to provide public developers a framework for
the timely evaluation of their proposals and avert future maintenance disaster. The
indices were drawn from theoretical concepts culled from the existing literature.
Prominent features of maintainability analysis included mean time to respect
estimates, accessibility analysis and technological feasibility of maintaining each
of the composite components of a building. Manuals were advocated for to ease
maintainability analysis.
