Introduction to Built Asset Management de C Higham

Introduction to Built Asset Management

Autor C Higham
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 9 feb 2022

Resursele care însoțesc volumul Introduction to Built Asset Management, precum sarcinile de autoevaluare și întrebările de tip seminar, transformă acest manual dintr-o simplă expunere teoretică într-un instrument de lucru riguros. Apreciem modul în care C Higham reușește să integreze faza operațională a unei clădiri în ciclul său de viață total, eliminând bariera tradițională dintre construcția propriu-zisă și mentenanța ulterioară. Găsim în această lucrare o analiză tehnică detaliată a acordurilor-cadru și a indicatorilor cheie de performanță (KPI), elemente esențiale pentru eficientizarea output-ului în industria construcțiilor moderne.

Perspectiva autorului este una multidisciplinară, punând un accent deosebit pe digitalizare prin utilizarea sistemelor Building Information Modelling (BIM) și Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Cititorul care a aplicat ideile din Building and Facilities Maintenance Management de Jason Challender va găsi aici o completare necesară, orientată spre sustenabilitate și reziliență la carbon. În timp ce alte lucrări se concentrează pe procese operaționale standard, Introduction to Built Asset Management explorează piața de retrofit și adaptarea infrastructurii existente la noile cerințe de mediu.

Structura narativă a cărții este logică și progresivă, facilitând înțelegerea modului în care deciziile de proiectare influențează costurile pe termen lung. Tonul este tehnic și pragmatic, evitând generalitățile în favoarea unor soluții aplicabile în managementul proprietăților și ingineria civilă. Considerăm că volumul umple un gol important în literatura de specialitate, oferind cadrul metodologic pentru gestionarea activelor într-o eră a responsabilității ecologice.

Descriere

Introduction to Built Asset Management

Provides a multidisciplinary introduction to building maintenance management and execution, covering a wide range of current technical and management issues

The maintenance and upgrading of existing buildings is no longer viewed as separate from the operational phase of the completed building. Maintenance and management are now regarded as fundamental parts of a building’s life cycle, forming a significant percentage of the construction industry’s total output. As higher education programmes in the UK and elsewhere continue to place greater emphasis on the longer-term view of construction projects, students and instructors require a thorough and up-to-date textbook that emphasises the comprehensive nature of building maintenance.

Introduction to Built Asset Management is a systematic introduction to both the technology and management issues central to building maintenance and refurbishment. Covering the entire life cycle of built assets, the textbook reviews the role of framework agreements, describes key performance indicators, discusses recent advancements in the procurement of maintenance activities and more. Detailed yet accessible chapters include illustrative examples, seminar questions and self-assessment tasks that enable students to measure their progress as they work through the material. Designed to meet the needs of today’s learners, this much-needed textbook:

  • Addresses a variety of both environmental and commercial concerns
  • Evaluates important concepts of sustainability, sustainable maintenance and carbon resilience
  • Discusses the growing retrofit market in the wider context of asset management and maintenance
  • Describes information management tools such as building information modelling (BIM) and geographic information systems (GIS)

Introduction to Built Asset Management is ideally suited for courses in construction, construction management, building surveying and facilities management with modules in built asset management and maintenance.
