Through-Life Management of Built Facilities: Towards a Framework For Analysis

Although built facilities are required to cater to changing requirements over time, effective through-life management is absent as an in-process activity from most large scale procurements. Through a review of key literature, several approaches which address aspects relevant to through-life management are discussed. An attempt is made to create a unified framework of understanding of what constitutes through-life management. Furthermore, an initial diagnostic style checklist is provided as a way of identifying the absence of through-life management.
