Advancements in Architectural, Engineering, and Construction Research and Practice

Abdullateef Olanrewaju: His first employment in the construction industry was as a quantity surveyor, about 15 years ago. He was involved in various construction projects from conceptual stage to completion. He has managed construction projects for multinational companies, private and public clients in Nigeria. He gained his master of science in the built environment from the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) for his research in value management and his doctorate from Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS Malaysia for his research in building maintenance management. Most of his researches are grounded in data because he is an empiricist researcher that likes to understand relationship from the data obtained. His academic activities center on lecturing and research associated with building maintenance, building economics, housing, sustainable buildings and value management. He has authored and co- authored several scientific papers. Olanrewaju is a referee for leading journals; Construction Management and Economics, International Journal of Construction Management, Engineering, Facilities and Construction and Architectural Management. He has served has as panelist and keynote speaker on different topics relating to building maintenance and the construction sector. He is supervising Ph. D. and MSc students. Based on a previous funded research, he has developed a ‘Building sustainable maintenance management model’ to guide designers, developers and policy makers in the Malaysian real estate market. His latest book: “Building Maintenance Processes and Practices” publisher by Springer is one of the most downloaded books based on the latest report. He is currently holding two federal government sponsored researches on affordable housing. His university sponsored research on development of schemes to deliver sustainable housing is nearing completion. His current research concentrates on sustainable maintenance management, housing delivery, ethical issues in construction and roles of construction sector in economic development and the procurements of construction projects through the Shariah method.
