Prospects to develop information technology based virtual monitoring system to arbitrate the housing quality

The applications of planning and design solutions are cradle for the building defects and maintenance issues related with design faults of the built environment. Maintenance that emerges from deficient design indicates that the building design has not been conceded in perception of building maintenance. Reviewing the nature of deficient design and resulting maintenance problems in various built forms reveals that housing sector is most effective of this phenomenon. Adoption of the information technology (IT) standard has not only heightened the need for IT knowledge but also extend the capabilities of many designers/architects and builders. Therefore there is niche to develop an integrated hub that could regulate the function of each professional involved in building processes. This paper will look into the prospectus to develop the automated monitoring system to check the performance of low and medium cost housing. Furthermore this paper will also highlights the stages of research to accomplish integrated monitoring system for housing performance. In the last section of paper it would be justified that integrated monitoring system could be considered as the problem solving scheme to attain the rational solution to check the housing performance and quality at post occupational stage, particularly in developing regions.
