CHAPTER 5 ~ STEP 3 - PRIORITIZE BY RISK Not every maintenance item requires immediate attention. Stewardship prioritizes repairs based on: 0 SAFETY M Protects people from injury and liability. 0 MOISTURE INTRUSION \ Prevents water damage and mold growth. 0 STRUCTURAL IMPACT Preserves the integrity of building systems. ~ COST ESCALATION ~ Addressing issues early prevents expensive repairs. • COSMETIC APPEARANCE ~ Maintains curb appeal and community standards . • ~ 9 G 8 By evaluating repairs according to risk, owners allocate resources where they provide the greatest long-term benefit. STEP 4 - PERFORM TIMELY MAINTENANCE The objective of maintenance is not perfection. It is preservation. Typical stewardship activities include: Roof cleaning 0 Vegetation management Exterior washing 0 Minor coating touch-ups Sealant replacement 0 Drainage improvements Gutter cleaning Cw Window maintenance Each activity contributes to preserving the performance of the ontiro building envelopo.

Every repair teaches something about the building. Every maintenance record improves future planning. Property stewardship is therefore a continuous learning process. Over time. owners become more familiar with how their building responds to Hawaii's environment. Maintenance becomes more predictable. Budgets become more accurate. 0 Unexpected failures become less common. $ Low $$ Modorato $$$ High $$$$ Very High CHAPTER 5 I THE HAWAII PROPERTY STEWARDSHIP FRAMEWORK • STEWARDSHIP TODAY VALUE TOMORROW.
