Cost-benefit analysis of the means of access used in maintenance actions

The efficiency of the inspection and maintenance buildings’ envelope is strongly linked to means access available carry out these interventions. adoption adequate facilitates works, considering constraints each building. access, besides having a fundamental role on quality interventions facades, represent very significant part cost repair elements. Therefore, assessment variation between different optimize costs resources. In façades, there variety solutions in terms access. selection most appropriate solution must be made according characteristics (e.g. architecture, height) users, surrounding space) building, needs for maintaining façade, time funds intervention. this study, comparative analysis plans developed types façade cladding (ceramic tiling systems, natural stone claddings, rendered painted surfaces, ETICS, architectural concrete façades) carried out. results show that influence cumulative average and, longterm, are advantages planning permanent at design phase
