A multivariate approach to maintenance prediction of wet areas

Abstract

A regression model to predict the maintainability of wet areas was developed. The model was derived from comprehensive condition surveys, interviews with professionals and defect analysis of 96 buildings. The study showed that plumbing selection, access for fitting maintenance, material maintainability, usage and construction quality are the most significant parameters associated with the maintainability of wet areas.Maintainability, wet area, multiple regression analysis, maintenance prediction model,
