Points for Project Management

Use plan, maintenance plan, quality plan, and feasibility plan.

Preventive Maintenance

When designing the space, the ease of cleaning or accessibility to them for their own routine maintenance should be taken into account. You must decide what type of air conditioning and lighting will be installed.

Corrective Maintenance

These are the different repairs of faults that occur with the passage of time due to damage.
