The Building Maintenance Management and Facility Lifecycle Engineering Training Course develops the technical and managerial skills required to manage building assets throughout their operational lifecycle. The course covers Building Maintenance, preventive and corrective maintenance, condition assessment, maintenance planning, asset management, reliability, lifecycle costing, and facilities engineering.

Delivered by Arab British Fellowship Training Academy, the course is part of Engineering Maintenance and Operation, with specialization in Construction and Civil Engineering Training Courses. Participants learn how to establish maintenance strategies, evaluate building systems, manage maintenance resources, control operational risks, and improve asset performance from commissioning through replacement or renewal.

• Understand the principles and objectives of modern Building Maintenance management.
• Develop structured maintenance planning strategies for buildings and infrastructure.
• Apply preventive, predictive, corrective, and condition-based maintenance approaches.
• Understand building asset management and lifecycle engineering principles.
• Assess the condition and performance of building assets.
• Develop maintenance schedules based on asset criticality and operational requirements.
• Apply lifecycle costing to maintenance and replacement decisions.
• Improve reliability, availability, and service performance of building systems.
• Understand the role of facilities engineering in building operations.
• Manage maintenance resources, contractors, materials, and work orders.
• Identify maintenance risks and establish appropriate control measures.
• Use maintenance data and performance indicators to support engineering decisions.
• Improve energy efficiency and operational sustainability through effective maintenance.
• Develop strategies for refurbishment, renewal, and end-of-life asset decisions.
