### General questions

### Is a maintenance plan mandatory?

It is not a legal requirement for every property, but it is strongly recommended, especially for housing cooperatives and larger rental properties. Many banks and boards also require a clear plan for future maintenance.

### How far ahead does a maintenance plan reach?

A typical maintenance plan covers 10 to 50 years, depending on the property's needs. Most housing cooperatives choose at least 30 years to get good lead time.

### How often should a maintenance plan be updated?

Often every 3 to 5 years, or after major renovations. This keeps the plan current and useful.

### How is OVK connected to the maintenance plan?

The result of an OVK inspection can show a need for measures that are then built into the maintenance plan. Read more: [What is OVK?](https://www.ovkkollen.se/en/what-is-ovk.md)

### Process and cost

### How does work on a maintenance plan proceed?

The process has five steps: inventory of the property's parts; condition assessment of the current state and upcoming needs; planning of measures year by year with a recommended timing; cost estimates for each measure; and a finished plan as a basis for the board and management.

### What does a maintenance plan cost?

The price depends on the size and complexity of the property and how much documentation exists. [Request a quote](https://www.ovkkollen.se/en/get-a-quote.md) and we will reply within 24 hours.
