What is the Long-Term Repair Plan?

Creation and review of long-term repair plans requires a high level of expertise and a great deal of effort.

In fact, it is often outsourced to management companies, architectural design offices, and public organizations related to condominium management. However, even in such cases, the main body of the plan is Residential Association, and it is important to clearly indicate the details of the work to be requested and carefully examine the draft plan.

For this reason, it is necessary to establish an internal review system within the Residential Association, including the establishment of a special committee to prepare long-term repair plans.

In order to confirm the current status of the building, we will conduct a survey and diagnosis of buildings.

In addition, important documents that will be helpful for grasping the condition of the building are checked not only for drawings such as completed drawings, but also for past repairs and inspections, minutes of general meetings, etc. It is necessary to keep it organized.

Based on the results of the building survey and diagnosis, based on the items of the standard style of long-term repair plan of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, we will reflect the items and cycles of construction required in the future in the review plan.

Considering efficient construction and cost savings, it is also necessary to consider items that are near the time of construction, such as setting them to perform construction together.

Based on completed books, repair records, results of surveys and diagnoses, etc., the approximate quantity (area to be constructed, etc.) is calculated for each target area of repair.

In addition, unit prices are set with reference to past repair work results and estimates of specialized contractors.

Repair work costs are calculated by multiplying the quantity calculated in this way by the unit price.
