Abstract

The use of the multi-attribute model for priority setting in planned maintenance of large building stocks is introduced. Practical issues related to the proper use of the model, such as selection criteria for maintenance prioritization and allocation of weightings to these criteria are discussed. Successful validation of the model in both the UK and Hong Kong is demonstrated.

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
