Abstract
Town councils are an evolutionary concept introduced to manage and maintain public housing developments in Singapore. One of the key functions of the tour council is maintenance management. This paper attempts to examine in detail the operating costs of town councils and the factors affecting their variations. The findings have implications on improving the efficiency of management in town councils.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
