Abstract
Purpose
In general, maintenance management is considered as part of the construction sector for the larger service of post-construction activity and process. However, as green building (GB) construction projects grow in scale and complexity, interconnections between the mentioned activities and processes can be noticed in a problematic planning performance management to monitor the GB components for the corrective and preventive maintenance action. Issues often arise during construction activity and pose a problem for the society due to the poor and improper maintenance execution, such as the recent fire in the Grenfell Tower (14 June 2017, about 80 fatalities).
Design/methodology/approach
The concept of maintenance management practices of GB and main features of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) tools and techniques were based on analysis of number of literature reviews in GB scenarios.
Findings
The research results described are concerned with an integrated system to analyse information and building a decision-making support in maintenance planning in GB based on robust data collection about concrete failures and causes, provide appropriate planning decision and reduce risks of GB failure throughout the lifetime.
Originality/value
The paper concludes that implementing a research framework for developing such a system can help improve the performance of maintenance planning of GB design, construction and maintenance operations.

Acknowledgements
The purpose of the research set forth in this paper has been to expand previous work conducted at the JKR by considering other important factors, such as hybrid BIM and type of GB component (precast façade), and to provide such additional data as would be helpful in evaluating results. In addition, data from this study will serve as a basis for judging the effects of hybrid BIM and CMMS integration on GB made from the precast façade materials. This results of the hybrid BIM and CMMS integration study will be reported in the future.
