Comprehensive review and comparative analysis of building condition assessment models

Abstract

Building Condition Assessment (BCA) is an important part of Facility Management (FM) since it involves strategic planning and decision-making to optimize the performance, longevity, and value of facilities. This paper aims to provide a review and a comparison of published research in the field of BCA, especially in the context of the developed models for this purpose. The methodology for reviewing and comparing the selected models involved a systematic approach to identifying, filtering, and extracting relevant studies from recently published scientific papers and conference papers indexed in reputable databases such as Web of Science and Scopus. The selected models were systematically reviewed and analysed to assess the types of buildings for which the models were developed, the purpose of their development, methods of data collection, software or tools used for data analysis, model strengths weaknessess and limitations. The findings from the data analysis were synthesized to identify patterns, trends, and insights across these selected models.
