Need Analysis of Building Maintenance: A Case Study in Small-Scale Residential Buildings Based on the Perceptions of Construction Industry

Lee et al (2017) avowed that MM is a tool for maintaining the resources of a company towards achieving effective and uninterrupted production at a reduced cost.

This in return has led to numerous research conducted towards building maintenance and management such as (Rastegari and Mobin 2016;Lee et al 2017). However, a gap exists in evaluating maintenance and management of smart buildings.…”

A framework for automated data acquisition for safety-oriented maintenance of buildings

This is true for construction processes (Edrei and Isaac 2017), but often also for building and infrastructure maintenance (e.g., Biondini and Frangopol 2015, Lee et al 2017, Nawi et al 2017, Zanini et al 2016). Yet, buildings are also becoming more and more complex, and this could potentially exacerbate existing maintenance-related safety problems.…”
