\nWith the complex designs of today\u2019s buildings posing a safety concern for cleaners, industry players welcomed the Building and Construction Authority\u2019s (BCA) plan to roll-out a new design-for-maintainability framework, reported Channel News Asia.
\nWith the framework providing a common set of ground rules, less experienced architects will get more guidance in designing buildings, with maintenance in mind, said Tang Kok Thye, an associate architect at ADDP Architect.
\n\u201cThe designs of today definitely look great, but (they) present a great challenge for the cleaning and maintenance team,\u201d said Carmen Choo, key account director of UEMS Solutions, the facilities management firm that helps maintain the Esplanade.
\n\u201cAnd what happens is ultimately, (the maintenance) team will be the ones taking over and maintaining the infrastructure.\u201d
\nWith this, a maintenance solutions company specialising in cleaning building interiors hope the framework will encourage the use of tiles instead of marble.
\nThis comes as marble are harder to maintain since it requires special liquid surface cleaners for stains, while wet stains are also more difficult to detect on them \u2013 making it more prone for people to slip and fall, said A1 Cleaning Services co-founder Adelyn Ong.
\n\u201cIt\u2019s easier to remove stains on tiles. They require only an ordinary floor cleaner to remove the smudges,\u201d she added, noting that those wanting to have a \u201cmarble look\u201d on their floors can install marble-like tiles instead.
