“…Importantly, the study proposes a method to involve maintenance concretely in earlier phases of the project (Ganisen et al , 2015), establishing the design requirements. The proposed CC process complements the research in other business areas and industries (Tolonen et al , 2017; Verrollot et al , 2017; Annunen et al , 2021) and highlights the importance of creating maintenance phase capabilities (Isoherranen and Majava, 2018) in the project design and construction phases (Love et al , 2004; Aapaoja and Haapasalo, 2014; Islam et al , 2021; Weeks and Leite, 2021). The study confirms the need to have a systematic stage-gate process in place to support an efficient project design phase (Ulrich and Eppinger, 2008; Cooper, 2011), but it also offers a new perspective on using it in the construction industry.…”

“…From a data management point of view, the biggest problem is weak data and information interoperability and flow through the whole project life cycle (Halttula et al , 2020). This increases the importance of managing (planning, organising, leading and controlling) the whole construction project properly from the design phase to maintenance phase (Weeks and Leite, 2021). Training and increased information availability are key for building the competencies of the organisation and decreasing resistance to change (Saaksvuori and Immonen, 2008; Lavy and Jawadekar, 2014).…”

Purpose This study describes how maintenance capability should be created during the design and construction phases of construction projects. Purpose of the abstract to define the elements for creating the maintenance capability and the process to be used in construction life cycle projects for buildings. Design/methodology/approach An inductive and qualitative research method was used to construct the proposed process based on the literature and 18 interviews in two large construction companies. Findings The results indicate that the maintenance phase is usually overlooked during the design and construction phases, and capabilities are not systematically built. In particular, processes are lacking in data management, causing severe problems in maintenance. Originality/value This study presents a process including key requirements and activities for creating maintenance capability in conjunction with the design and construction phases, which is novel to the literature. The validated process can be adapted based on the needs of the construction company.

“…32 In the operation phase, strategies and methods to prevent water damage are mapping the building structure to make water leakages and other defects visible 55 and designing buildings that allow and facilitate maintenance. 42 The strategies and methods for the prevention of water damage focus on decision-makers, inspection and building techniques. Proven and tested solutions for active water damage prevention are fewer, even though some studies were found 34,54 that could be implemented in the design and operation phases.…”

Water damage affects both residents and buildings. Issues include moisture, climate impact and repair costs that amount to immense resources. Because of these, immense resources research is important to undertake to reduce and limit the extent and effects of water damage. This study aimed to compile and review the literature on water damage in buildings. Literature distribution, the status, consequences, effects, and strategies and methods for prevention of water damage were assessed by compiling and reviewing literature using quantitative and qualitative methods. Two scientific databases were searched to identify the relevant literature. Key findings of this study are that research conducted on water damage is embedded in the study of building defects and building pathology, and more specific research on water damage is needed depending on different rooms and buildings, the effect of moisture and sustainability. Informed and guided decisions, management and organizational structures have been internationally suggested as a part of the solution to reducing the amount and effect of defects and could have the possibility to reduce the amount and effect of water damage. However, there is a gap in research on water damage consequences, occurrence and costs in Nordic conditions.

“…Asset managers are thus compelled to obtain condition data through estimates, commonly based on a limited number of parameters (e.g., age and theoretical lifespan; see, e.g., [9]), or through appraisals from third parties, resulting in a poor integration of these data in the overall maintenance strategies. This tendency led MEP to be the building trade where the highest number of defects are reported [10]. Clearly, then, implementing new methods to estimate these components' condition is key to improve buildings' occupants' comfort [11][12][13] and minimize repair costs, which can be substantial [10,14].…”

Elicitation of Rank Correlations with Probabilities of Concordance: Method and Application to Building Management

Constructing Bayesian networks (BN) for practical applications presents significant challenges, especially in domains with limited empirical data available. In such situations, field experts are often consulted to estimate the model’s parameters, for instance, rank correlations in Gaussian copula-based Bayesian networks (GCBN). Because there is no consensus on a ‘best’ approach for eliciting these correlations, this paper proposes a framework that uses probabilities of concordance for assessing dependence, and the dependence calibration score to aggregate experts’ judgments. To demonstrate the relevance of our approach, the latter is implemented to populate a GCBN intended to estimate the condition of air handling units’ components—a key challenge in building asset management. While the elicitation of concordance probabilities was well received by the questionnaire respondents, the analysis of the results reveals notable disparities in the experts’ ability to quantify uncertainty. Moreover, the application of the dependence calibration aggregation method was hindered by the absence of relevant seed variables, thus failing to evaluate the participants’ field expertise. All in all, while the authors do not recommend to use the current model in practice, this study suggests that concordance probabilities should be further explored as an alternative approach for the elicitation of dependence.
