Abstract

Maintenance of educational buildings is crucial if quality and sustainable education is to be delivered. However, while studies have emanated as regards maintenance issues of public educational buildings in Nigeria, there seem to be a deficiency in literature as regards maintenance happenings within the private tertiary institutions. This paper therefore presents the findings of the assessment of the barriers of building maintenance in private tertiary institutions in the country. The study adopted a quantitative approach and information were harnessed from maintenance officers and construction professionals within two private tertiary institutions. Data gathered were analyzed using percentage, mean score, standard deviation, and factor analysis. Findings revealed that the maintenance units of these institutions are characterized by inexperienced staffs, while the most used maintenance approach is the corrective maintenance. The factors affecting building maintenance are mostly; building design and usage factors, policy and management factors, and human resources and funding factors.
