M. Tech. Business Administration / Failure to use appropriate procurement and management policies and guidelines for the routine maintenance of buildings cost the South African National Biodiversity Institute (SANBI) more than necessary, and the practice has resulted in lack of efficiency. The cost of maintenance is an integral part of the business process, and needs to be assessed, monitored and evaluated based on empirical evidence and due process. The study aimed to analyse factors that affect the cost of building maintenance at SANBI, and find out ways and means in which the cost of maintenance could be reduced without compromising the quality of workmanship. It is against this background that the purpose of this study was to identify factors that affect the cost of maintenance of buildings at the South African National Biodiversity Institute (SANBI) in Pretoria and investigate how the factors influence maintenance cost.
