Abstract(s)
The rehabilitation of buildings is a kind of practice that involves an improvement of the comfort and building habitability conditions through the reuse of existing resources. However the rehabilitation process requires ingenious solutions and specific knowledge by designers and builders.
The reuse of material resources existing in buildings that align with the adoption of environment concerns could balance the embodied energy and water and emission reduction. Furthermore, the construction procurement could facilitate the rehabilitation process and also adopt a management contracting process which requires a specialized contractor to support the design and work’s needs.
This article describes a set of measures from a management system to support the project management process of a building rehabilitation works. The set of proposed measures could facilitate the skilled labour and material resources management, which are focused on the principles and assumptions of sustainability. In addition, it could also give a contribution to devising different ways to organize and manage works in buildings with rehabilitation needs and in a way to have more sustainability benefits.
