DEFECTS ASSESSMENT & PREDICTIVE MAINTENANCE
A Proactive Real-Time Management Strategy
» Qualified for 7 PDUs by PE Board
COURSE BACKGROUND
Building maintenance work is either reactively or proactive addressed. Whilst Cyclical-Based systems may be held as proactive and preventive; maintenance cycles are determined at design stage and do not factor quality of construction and maintenance effort and building use. This could lead to over-maintenance due to premature replacement or to unexpected consequences when failure occurs before stipulated schedules.
In a Predictive/Condition-Based system, work is based on real time evidence of need as ascertained from inspections, and planned and prioritised accordingly. Some 30% cost savings have been achieved in moving from a Cyclical-based to a Condition-based system in engineering installations maintenance.
Predictive/Condition-Based building maintenance systems requires objective inspection data, the variability in defect prognosis arising from subjectivity of inspectors needs to be addressed as a pre-requisite to implementation. A new Dutch standard NEN 2767, believed to be a world-first in Building Condition Assessment, seeks to provide uniformity in condition assessment, through an inspection and reporting system based on defect classification and condition scores. The resultant data also serves as a means of communicating building technical condition between strategic, tactical and operational level decision makers.

COURSE LEADERS
Dr Quah Lee Kiang FRICS
Dr Quah is the Director of the Real Estate & Construction Centre and the Real Estate & Construction Academy in Singapore. She has extensive regional and international experience in Project and Facilities Management & Maintenance research, advice and academia.
Dr Quah led the EU funded project BE4213 Condition Assessment and Maintenance Strategies for Buildings and Building Components, which among other things, sought to develop an objective building condition assessment system. This project formed part of ongoing research over the last 20 years which culminated in Dutch Standard NEN 2767 on Condition Assessment of Buildings, believed to be a ‘world first’.
Dr Quah’s professional and research affiliations include being Coordinator of the International Council for Research and Innovation in Building and Construction (CIB) Working Commission 70 on Facilities Management and Maintenance for a decade and past President of the Chartered Institute of Building Singapore Centre. She was also a member of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) Asia Board, Singapore Board and Asia Pacific Sustainability Board.
Dr Quah was conferred an Honorary Fellow by Oxford Brookes University for her work in real estate and construction education and the unusual impact her career has had on this particular academic field in Asia.
