= Introduction =

Local authorities and organisations may hold information concerning all their assets. This will help them organise, service, monitor, evaluate, upgrade, control and dispose of these assets over time.

= What is an asset? =

According to PAS 1192-3 (Specification for information management for the operational phase of construction projects using building information modelling) an asset may be described as anything that has potential value or actual value to an organisation.

PAS 1192-3 suggests that an asset ‘…may be fixed, mobile or movable. It may be an individual item of plant, a system of connected equipment, a space within a structure, a piece of land, an entire piece of infrastructure or an entire building or portfolio of assets.’ It suggests that, in this context, ‘value’ can be tangible, intangible, financial or non-financial and can vary throughout the life of the asset.

According to NRM3: Order of cost estimating and cost planning for building maintenance works, the term ‘asset’ refers to:

'...the whole building, element, system, sub-element and/or a specific asset, or component or part thereof. Note – asset classifications can be at portfolio/estate level (e.g. offices or schools) down to specific maintainable assets (eg. boilers).’ NRM 3 applies to all levels of building or constructed assets that are ‘applicable’ to maintenance and life-cycle major repairs and replacement work.

= Information =

Having up-to-date information is crucial to the management of assets. Asset management involves the control and realisation of value from those things that an organisation is responsible for.

Information on assets held may encompass traditional hand-written or printed hard copies, drawings and/or software-based information systems. As far as buildings are concerned, traditional methods will have included ledgers and drawings. Nowadays, these will have been largely supplanted by computer-based systems with their vast storage capacity, ease of navigation, editing, retrieval and reproduction.
