making is inherently a process that requires the assimilation of a multitude of data, processes, and software
systems. Therefore, this paper proposes an integrated decision support system for building asset management
that addresses the systematization and coordination of lifecycle data. In this approach, a lifecycle work break
down structure (WBS) for the asset management system is developed to provide a unified hierarchy to categorize
and organize building assets. It is then used to develop the WBS-based integrated building lifecycle asset man
agement model through a relational database management system (DBMS). Since building information model
ling (BIM) is a rich information-based platform with large volumes of asset data needed, it is integrated with the
WBS-based DBMS to achieve an effective integrated building asset management. A case study of an educational
building is presented and discussed in the paper to demonstrate how the proposed automated solution is used for
asset management. The research contributes to the body of knowledge by formalizing a WBS-based unified asset
inventory hierarchy and mapping BIM data to the proposed hierarchy for effective asset management.
