This course trained participants to better assess government assets pre and post-disaster and will inform policymakers on the best use of finances in relation to a building asset. The National Integrated Planning and Programme Unit (NIPP) within the Department of Finance recently held a 2-week Building Condition Assessment and Asset Management train the trainer’s Course at the Sir Arthur Lewis Community College. Director of the NIPP, Haward Well noted that training modules comprised best practices for maintaining public buildings through the conduct of building condition assessments, planning and prioritizing maintenance, and deriving replacement costs for financial decision-making. The training course was facilitated by Luis D. Aponte Bermúdez, Ph.D., P.E., who is a Consultant Structural and Wind Engineer and a Professor at the University of Puerto Rico. He said this course is important as it prepares future engineers and architects to perform condition assessments on buildings. Lecturer in the Engineering and Circular Economy Unit at the Sir Arthur Lewis Community College, Kayreen Cenac-Hippolyte, is optimistic that this asset management course will redound positively to the future built infrastructure on the island. Theobalds Consulting was tasked with developing a tool to assist the NIPP Unit in relation to asset management. In developing the tool, a physical assessment was conducted on 25 buildings and a report was generated outlining the condition of these buildings, the required repairs or renovations, and the high-level cost to remedy the building’s condition. Charlene Menal is a Civil Engineer with Theobalds Consulting. The information generated by the database will also inform when an asset has reached a point of being considered obsolete and ultimately provide policymakers the evidence to make better use of limited resources.
