Efficient asset management is critical to the success of complex construction projects, especially in healthcare environments where accuracy, coordination, and regulatory compliance are paramount. This study presents the development of a standardized digital asset naming system designed to address persistent issues such as inconsistent identification, disorganized documentation, and communication breakdowns among stakeholders. Using a mixed-methods approach, the research combines quantitative survey data with qualitative insights from construction professionals to inform the system's design and validate its effectiveness. The project involved designing a mobile application that enables users to systematically input asset data, attach optional photographs, and generate structured PDF reports. Deployment at the Sunway Ipoh Medical Centre project demonstrated measurable improvements in workflow efficiency and data accuracy. Feedback from end-users highlighted the application's practicality and usability. It is recommended that future developments include Building Information Modeling (BIM) integration, customizable naming templates, and geolocation tagging to enhance system flexibility and scalability.
