The management of assets within the built environment has always been challenging due to its information-intensive nature. The importance of information management (IM) across the asset lifecycle for value generation has attracted attention from academia and industry professionals. Accordingly, many IM contexts, principles, and technological innovations have been introduced into the construction sector to overcome IM challenges across the asset lifecycle. However, there remains a disconnect as to their operationalization in practice. Hence, remedial strategies and solutions need to be found to bridge the gap between theory and practice.
This research project aims to propose a solution(s) to improve information management across the public built asset’s lifecycle to facilitate decision making for asset owners to ultimately improve value generation.
