PREFACE
Central Public Works Department is maintaining a very large building stock
comprising of General Pool residential accommodation and Central Government
Buildings. The residential units and office buildings maintained by CPWD are adding
regularly with the creation of the new assets. The gigantic task of maintaining these
assets is being discharged by CPWD to the satisfaction of the stake holders through
its wide and established network.
To meet the challenges effectively and efficiently on maintenance front,
CPWD Maintenance Manual was published last in the year 2019. Since then, several
changes in rules / procedures have taken place and several initiatives in improving
the maintenance have been taken. E-nirmit maintenance module has been included
for improving lodging & monitoring the complaints. Yardsticks for civil and
horticulture works have been revised due to mechanisation.
To revise the CPWD Maintenance Manual, a Committee under the
Chairmanship of Additional Director General (Delhi) was constituted. The
recommendations of the Committee were circulated to Field Officers. Suggestions
received have been incorporated in the Manual.
This publication shall be of great help and guidance to the officers engaged in
maintenance of buildings. I take this opportunity to acknowledge the commendable
efforts made by Shri P.B. Singh, SDG (Mumbai) previously Additional Director General
(Delhi) who was entrusted the job of revision of the Maintenance Manual 2019. I also
express my thanks to entire dedicated team involved in revision of the Manual for their
valuable contributions in finalization of the Manual.

For monitoring of complaints related to maintenance of assets being maintained by CPWD,
the cpwdsewa portal is being operated. Each service centre has been given ID and password to
login-in to the system. The cpwdsewa portal has four main modules.

(A) Resident’s Module


Under this module, an occupant can lodge complaint in respect of residential or non-
residential buildings being maintained by CPWD either by taking assistance of 24 x 7 Call Centre
service or by CPWD sewaapp or by directly logging into cpwdsewa portal. The type of complaints
can be selected after logging into cpwdsewa website from the drop down menu shown at left
panel of the screen.
The complainants using cpwdsewa portal can select a residential quarter or non-residential
building through multiple options e.g. house details, service centre, building name, general search
or one’s own mobile number as per their convenience. They can also view the detailed list of
complaint types in respect of Civil, Electrical and Horticulture all. Against a specific complaint
lodged, the residents are allowed to choose their preferred day and time for complaint attendance.
Upon submission of needed details, the confirmation screen appears with the Unique Complaint
Number, which is auto generated by the system.
The status of a previously lodged complaint can also be known online through multiple options
e.g. direct by giving complaint number or by selecting particulars of building/quarter and then the
specific pending complaint. The residents can also get the complaint history in respect of their
particular quarter during a specified period.

The SMS are generated and sent to the registered mobile of the user at various stages
namely making the complaint lodging i.e. immediately after the complaint is lodged, the
complaint is assigned to the worker and when the complaint is attended. The user has also

This is displayed to all three discipline officers ( i.e. Civil, Elect & Hort) in regard to all complaints
under that Service Centre. The analysis for benchmarking can also be done for the complaints
lodged for selected period.

attended during the specified period in respect of minor as well as major complaints. Feedback
reports can be generated for all service centres for a specified period for further analysis by
the management.
cpwdsewa software also periodically generates MIS reports and automatically sends through
e-mails. These MIS reports are to be regularly received by the respective officers on daily basis
for smooth and effective maintenance management.

(D) Call Centre Module


The call centre on 24 x 7 basis receives all the complaints via toll free numbers. At the call
centre, there is a facility of receiving calls and lodging the complaints through the same website
http://cpwdsewa.gov.in on a Real-Time Basis.
After the complaints are lodged by the Call Centre on to the website, it is attended by the

feedback of such attended complaints telephonically to assess the satisfaction level of occupants
and assess the efficiency of CPWD team. The feedback report is generated as MIS report which
