  • Abstract:
    The purpose of this paper is to present an algorithm of procedures intended for use in building maintenance management (BMM), called SIAPME. Design/methodology/approach With basis on a literature review, an exploratory practical exercise was carried out, drawing up the SIAPME model and comprising several organisational charts with interconnections. Findings This study offers an overview of an alternative set of well-founded and integrated strategies for asset management. Overall, the basic characteristics of the outlined model seem to be in agreement with various existing models. Research limitations/implications SIAPME’s ambitious goal is to serve as a well-founded strategic basis for the development of an advanced software solution. However, it still lacks empirical validation, which could be a lengthy process. Practical implications This research can provide a valuable input for a more in-depth discussion on the identification and correction of gaps for many systems currently in use. For instance, it is believed that an eventual SIAPME software solution may have potential for full compatibility with building information models, particularly focusing on the life cycle phase of utilisation, operation and building maintenance. Originality/value Through SIAPME procedures, a building manager will be allowed to have a very broad perspective of its functions, covering nearly all the fundamental aspects for efficient and integrated maintenance, with optimal control of all players in the process. As a concept idea and by introducing emerging and technological issues, the model can be advantageous for BMM.
