Repair work is a mandatory measure of maintenance of any home. Maintaining good condition of the basic design, communications and decoration allows you to use the house for a long time in accordance with its operational purpose. At the same time, the formats of repair work can be different. They determine the timing, lists of working activities, costs, safety standards, etc. The fundamental difference is the current repair from overhaul, which is expressed in the approaches to the organization of processes, and in the complexity of the operations performed.
Definition of maintenance
In accordance with the regulatory definition, current repairs are recognized measures that are aimed at timely and systematic protection of the serviced object from damage and malfunction. In this case, an object means industrial buildings, communication networks, structures and residential buildings. In other words, the current home repair is a list of preventive measures aimed at repairing certain structures in the form of elements that form construction objects.
Modern editions of standards emphasize that technical measures are aimed specifically at eliminating existing malfunctions. But during the development of the project of the event, works that set the goal of strengthening workable elements may well be added. For example, preventive maintenance work may include reinforcing the roof rafters, installing patches, mounting protective frames on the foundation and walls. Such decisions in the future eliminate the formation of new damage and destructive processes.
Overhaul Definition
Overhaul refers to the restoration or complete replacement of building structures, as well as engineering equipment with communications. In practice, the overhaul of a house can be expressed in full or partial updating of the appearance of the house, its internal arrangement and modernization. At the same time, there are restrictions that do not allow performers to completely eliminate the main structures - at least in cases where such work is contrary to the life of the house. That is, if the structure can be operated for 20-30 years, then without obvious signs of destruction during repair it cannot be updated.
In essence, the overhaul eliminates the effects of functional or physical deterioration of objects. Therefore, large-scale works are often carried out to update engineering equipment and carriers with sections. In this context, the following difference between the current repair and the overhaul can be noted: if in the first case we are talking about working with local damage and breakdowns, then in the second, complex operations are performed that affect several interconnected elements.
Differences in the type of work
Technical operations during routine repairs can include repairing, replacing, correcting structures, laying cladding, planning a house area, etc. The maintenance team can replace individual elements of the plumbing, restore a partially damaged wall, or update the flooring. That is, these are works that do not involve radical interference in the design and are most often manifested in the elimination of obvious external problems.At the same time, the norms of current and overhaul may overlap in the lists of works. For example, water supply, sewage and, as a whole, water supply as objects can relate to routine repair activities in the sense that, in order to restore operability, the contractor can update their elements up to risers and pumping units. But overhaul also takes on the same field, since it is assigned engineering networks and communications - it’s another matter that projects can talk about the system restoration of the canal’s performance with a complete replacement of the infrastructure.
Difference in funding
Differences in the organization and payment of repair activities are determined by the type of facility. The house can be private and multi-family. In the first case, both the capital and current repair measures are completely assigned to the owner. He is responsible for the organization and for the financing of repairs. However, this does not exclude the possibility of contacting a construction company, which, again, for a fee, will undertake the maintenance of a house of any complexity. If the matter concerns common property, then the difference between the current repair and the overhaul will be in the amount of payment. In each case, the amount of contributions is calculated individually - based on their condition at home, region and other factors. Directly the organization and implementation of repair activities is assigned to the management company.
The difference in the timing
For obvious reasons, the need for current repairs arises much more often than in the organization of major repairs. Therefore, the format of local technical operations is applied every 3-6 months. But this is a conditional time range, because premature repair of the building may be required if, for example, an accident occurs. It is important to emphasize that adjustments to the schedule of work, as well as their list, can be changed by residents at a general meeting.
As for the overhaul, it is carried out once every 3-5 years. In this case, the meeting of owners may also postpone the date, if for good reason. The main difference between the current repair and the overhaul in this part is that when performing large-scale operations to update or replace the structures of the residents of the house, they must be notified in advance. This applies to overhaul, and current local events can even take place without informing.
Differences between overhaul and reconstruction
Often the term reconstruction is introduced into the concept of overhaul, and sometimes maintenance. From a technical point of view, such a mixing may be fair - during the reconstruction works of the same complexity and in the same areas can be performed. But the tasks of reconstruction are fundamentally different. For current repairs, the goal is to correct specific malfunctions and damage, and overhaul aims to eliminate systemic violations in the building structure - this is its content. Both current repairs and overhauls are carried out in order to ensure that the building at least regains its former condition with basic ensuring reliability and safety. In turn, reconstruction due to the same technical tools is carried out with the aim of changing the parameters of the building, even if it is at that moment in an optimal state for operation.
Other nuances in differences
The difficulty in distinguishing between the two repair formats is that there are no clear boundaries between them. For example, there is the concept of selective overhaul, which is aimed at partial replacement of building structures. But even within the framework of current repair operations, it is possible to carry out such events. In addition, the complex repair of a building in practice can incorporate entire layers of operations that are directly designated as a list of current repairs.Therefore, a strict delineation can take place only at the moment when the project has already received the appropriate designation.
Conclusion
For the average layman, knowledge of the features of the separation of different types of repairs can be of great importance, even if he is not associated with the formal organizational processes of such events. This is important, for example, for private owners who are planning a major overhaul of a house within certain time limits with the inclusion of their own finances. Understanding how the overhaul differs from the current one will help to classify the types of technical operations - respectively, to determine the degree of their complexity, as well as the responsibility of the performers. This is also important for residents of apartment buildings who are in legal and economic relations with a management company that carries out repairs.
