“…Consequently, BRP tends to proceed as a succession of technical problems that requires quick solutions. Frequently, the techniques and methods of repairs have to be uniquely developed for each unit of a building (Adnan et al, 2012;Rahmat, 2008;Rahmat& Ali, 2010).…”

“…Difficulty of Access Such premises may impose restriction on the access to certain parts of the building, thus restricting the movement of site operative within the building. Hence, this makes it difficult to have continuity in the work which consequently requires more effort in coordination, planning, and controlling Rahmat & Ali (2010), &Egbu 20107. Limited Space Space is needed on construction sites for loading and unloading, car parking and placing building materials, plant and equipment.…”

Building Refurbishment Project (BRP) is another way of giving a building a new lease of life after it has reached the end of its initial purpose or when it could not fulfill what is expected of it. BRP is determined as one of the most important economic drivers in Malaysian construction industry. Yacob, Rahmat, Saruwono, & Ismail (2017) defined BRP as making use of what is usable from the old building stock that is valuable in its own right. BRP can be broadly categorised into two. The first category refers to works that bring back the building to its original design performance which involves repair, rehabilitation, and restoration. Meanwhile, the second category is described as works that upgrade the original design performance, which includes extension, renovation, improvement, retrofit, modernisation, and conversion (Rahmat, 2008).

“…Refurbishment involves a process of rehabilitation, modernisation, renovation, improvement, adaptation, additions, repairs, renewal and retrofitting carried out on existing buildings, but excluding maintenance and cleaning work [9]. In refurbished buildings the user is normally expected to have enhanced indoor environmental quality with performance similar to their expectations of a new building.…”

This study discusses the Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) in two refurbished private schools in Shah Alam, Selangor. The level of IAQ may affect the comfort, health and well-being of the occupants of the building. Lack of monitoring IAQ in a school may affect the academic performance of the children. The objectives of the research are to observe the ventilation system used in the selected school and the comfort of the occupants; to measure the IAQ; and finally to provide an improvement plan for better air quality. The result shows that the IAQ level of both schools was average, so both were classified as safe for occupation. It is anticipated that this study will benefit the school owners in making sure that their school buildings are conducive to teaching and learning.

“…In addition, Lee & Scott (2009) further argued that the relationship between clients or organisations and maintenance personnel is essential and would affect the outcome of building maintenance operation processes. For example, it is vital to allow key participants to exert influence on decision making practices, so that the existing experience, skills, knowledge, and competence can be shared among the key participants (Rahmat & Ali, 2010b). Therefore, the measures for improving maintenance performance are identified as follow (Au-Yong et al…”

Buildings can be poorly maintained due to lack of understanding towards the role of building maintenance in achieving organisation's objective and long-term profitability. The maintenance management is the agent that provides maintenance services to fulfil the needs of the organisation. However, involvement of all the key participants is the key to enhance maintenance planning, execution, and outcome. Whereby, participative mechanism involves the key participants to deal with the maintenance issues. Thus, this paper seeks to identify the participative mechanisms through literature review; then, establish relationship between the mechanisms and maintenance performance through questionnaire survey and interview; and finally produce a regression model for prediction purpose. The findings reveal that effective communication among the key participants is vital to enhance the maintenance performance. Therefore, this paper recommends that the management should develop an effective communication platform involving all key participants with contribution and commitment toward the maintenance activities.
