Effective feedback of whole-life data to the design process. (2003)
Journal Article
KISHK, M., AL-HAJJ, A., POLLOCK, R. and AOUAD, G. 2003. Effective feedback of whole-life data to the design process. Journal of financial management of property and construction, 8(2), pages 89-98.

Key activities of the implementation of whole-life costing (WLC) as a management tool during the occupancy stage are outlined. Then, the logic of a novel whole-life management approach is designed around two recently developed generic WLC databases....

Whole life costing in construction: a state of the art review. (2003)
Report
KISHK, M., AL-HAJJ, A., POLLOCK, R., AOUAD, G., BAKIS, N. and SUN, M., 2003. Whole life costing in construction: a state of the art review. RICS Research Paper Series, 4 (18)

This report is a state of the art review of whole life costing in the construction industry. It is the first of a series reporting on-going research undertaken within the research project Developing An Integrated Database For Whole Life Costing Appli...

Towards effective consideration of non-financial factors in the design and management of construction assets. (2002)
Journal Article
KISHK, M. 2002. Towards effective consideration of non-financial factors in the design and management of construction assets. Journal of financial management of property and construction, 7(3), pages 163-173.

The decisive role of non-financial factors in the design and management of construction assets is highlighted and existing techniques used to include these factors in the decision-making process are critically reviewed. An effective algorithm has bee... Read More about Towards effective consideration of non-financial factors in the design and management of construction assets..

An innovative integrated approach to whole life costing. (2002)
Journal Article
KISHK, M., Al-HAJJ, A. and POLLOCK, R. 2002. An innovative integrated approach to whole life costing. Journal of financial management of property and construction, 7(1), pages 31-40.

A number of recently developed algorithms are combined to build an innovative integrated whole life costing approach. The integration process is based on the simple idea of breaking the decision-making process into a logical series of activities. The...

Handling uncertain information in whole-life costing: a comparative study. (2002)
Journal Article
KISHK, M., AL-HAJJ, A. and POLLOCK, R. 2002. Handling uncertain information in whole-life costing: a comparative study. Risk management [online], 4(3), pages 59-70. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1057/palgrave.rm.8240126

A number of recently developed algorithms to handle uncertain information in whole life costing (WLC) are explained and validated in the context of two example applications. In the first example application, the proposed methodology is compared to th... Read More about Handling uncertain information in whole-life costing: a comparative study..

A fuzzy model and algorithm to handle subjectivity in life cycle costing based decision-making. (2000)
Journal Article
KISHK, M. and AL-HAJJ, A. 2000. A fuzzy model and algorithm to handle subjectivity in life cycle costing based decision-making. Journal of financial management of property and construction, 5(1-2), pages 93-104.

A life cycle costing (LCC) algorithm that can effectively deal with judgmental assessments of input parameters is proposed. This algorithm is based on the fuzzy set theory and interval mathematics. The development of the algorithm is motivated by the... Read More about A fuzzy model and algorithm to handle subjectivity in life cycle costing based decision-making..
