Comparison of Unit Costs for Operation and Maintenance of Buildings.

Abstract

Facility Operations and Maintenance data from Army, university, municipal, and private sectors were obtained and analyzed. It was concluded that: The O&M costs collected should be compared within geographical regions of the country and then with caution; For administrative office-type buildings, the Army spends less than the private sector in all regions, with the Southern region being most comparable. For regions 1, 5, 6, and 7 (which have more than one installation), the differences range from $.37 to $1.37; Army housing cost data is comparable to data for universities, especially for the southern region; Over all buildings, the Army spends less than universities in all regions; and Municipalities and private companies also spend more than the Army (based on a very small sample).
