The history of healthcare facilities management services: a UK perspective on infection control
Facilities2018 The history of the development of non-clinical services in infection control (IC) dates back to the pre-modern era. There is evidence of health-care facility management (HFM) services in Roman military hospitals. With the fall of the Roman Empire, Christian beliefs and teaching shaped the development of HFM in monastic hospitals.

Review of Motivations, Success Factors, and Barriers to the Adoption of Offsite Manufacturing in Nigeria
Procedia Engineering2017 Despite several mitigation attempts, Nigeria is still facing a deficit of 17 million houses.

Empirical Study of Project Governance among Chinese Project Management Professionals
International Journal of Architecture, Engineering and Construction2017 Project governance (PG) represents a direct and control function for a project based organization (PBO). Operational approaches to PG have rarely been explored and structured. Based on a face-to-face questionnaire survey of project management professionals in China, this study produces an ontology of PG “direct and control” measures at the operational level.
Critical Success Factors (CSFs) for achieving sustainable social housing (SSH)
International Journal of Sustainable Built Environment2017 The overarching objective of social housing is to meet housing needs, particularly those of the vulnerable households – low and middle income earners. However, there is evidence to show that social housing is not adequately supported to achieve sustainable goals despite its significance for addressing the housing crisis. The aim of this study is to determine the Critical Success Factors (CSFs) for achieving Sustainable Social Housing (SSH) from economic, environmental and social perspectives for meeting housing needs.
