Abstract
Housing associations can perform maintenance and improvement in a professional, client-centred and sustainable manner by deriving the technical management from the strategic stock policy. However, utility and maintenance performance levels of housing complexes can be adjusted to suit the target user groups. The implementation of mutable performance levels in planned maintenance requires the standardization of conditions, performance loss and defects of maintenance cost components. By adopting a condition-dependent approach to maintenance, housing associations can exercise control over the desired maintenance performance levels and costs. Pilot studies were carried out by five Dutch housing associations to model the strategic technical management process.

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
