Know What Needs Attention
Learn to identify the parts of a building that will need operation, maintenance, repair, or replacement over time.
Design for Future Access
Understand why equipment and components should be placed where people can actually reach, service, and replace them later.
Think Beyond the First Cost
Learn why affordable housing is only the beginning and why the long-term cost of energy, water, maintenance, repairs, and replacement matters too.
About Stick Twenty-Five — The Keeping
Construction may end when somebody receives the keys, but that is when the longest part of the building’s life begins. Stick Twenty-Five focuses on everything required to keep the building useful, understandable, affordable, serviceable, and repairable after construction is over. You’ll learn to ask four important questions: What will need attention? How often? Can somebody reach it? And does anybody know? You’ll also see how different parts of one building can have very different service lives. The goal is to make maintenance and future replacement part of the design conversation instead of leaving those problems for the owner to discover later.
