The importance of a maintenance program for any building is well known and indebted. The performance of maintenance directly influences the building condition and function. Acknowledgment towards this situation supposes to be used in order to consider the maintenance aspect before the construction of any building. However, in the actual scenario, the consideration of the maintenance aspect only happened when a building is completely built and operate. This fact has led to the perception where the execution of building maintenance program is considered as a burden among the building owners. This paper has been established with the intention to discuss on what are the issues that have hindered the consideration of maintenance aspects at an earlier stage or specifically at the design stage. Based on the literature search, this paper has discussed these issues in three categories namely maintenance inputs, human capabilities, and supporting documents and facilities.
