Theme B: Creating a livable, healthy and environmentally viable cities1. INTRODUCTIONSpeaking of the construction management system; the construction administrativesystem had been well developed, but the management and maintenance strategy haveyet to have an integrated and suited implementation. This often caused the difficultyof finding the right timing for the implementation of property management forconstruction and even caused the problem of unable to develop the real effectiveness.For the domestic case, the implementation of property management is usually afterthe establishment of the owners’ administrative committees (figure 1). Therefore,often cause the illegal situation of remodeling and build-after-Occupancy-Permitcases. This paper aims at proposing the implementation of property management atthe planning stage of construction (figure 2) to make new change for the owners to beat a passive condition during construction planning and designing. It completes theintegrity of the management mechanism in addition.All the construction and its auxiliary facility have its life time; in another word theconstruction has its life cycle. The integrity for construction life cycle management(LCM) is to imply the concept of property management. Therefore, by applyingproperty management in the long life cycle of the construction, the propertymanagement plays an integration role in the life cycle of the construction. Sinceproperty management aims at the planning, management and operation for all types ofconstruction and its auxiliary facility, it is actually to integrate and plan the life cycleof the construction. This makes property management a sustainable management forconstruction.The study focus on property management applied to life cycle management of theconstruction. It Expectations are thus to establish the implementation opportunity and311
