"...a fine publication and should be an essential purchase for all students studying property maintenance and a valuable reference for practitioners."
Chartered Surveyor Monthly --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Book Description
Repair and maintenance work represent over 40% of total UK construction output and with the growing cost of new-build, the good maintenance of existing stock, and the management of maintenance programmes have become increasingly important. This book explains to the construction professional and owner of larger buildings the key management aspects of maintenance. There is still surprisingly little published on maintenance, especially on the IT aspects, and this book helps redress the balance. Apart from a general refreshment of the material for a second edition, the authors have weaved in three key new themes: bull; bull;a stronger link with FM to reflect the developments over the past 10 years bull;coverage of performance evaluation techniques (KPIs, Best Value) bull;current trends in procurement strategies (PFI, partnering) and implications for maintenance.
