I am a Certified Facility Manager (CFM) and an Interior Designer and have been in the industry for over 15 years working now as a consulant primarily focusing on strategic planning. This is recognized as the go-to reference for all that is Facilities Management (FM). I still, even with my experience, review sections and have referred this book to many peers and clients. Cotts will always be someone in our industry who brought FM to the forefront and makes everyone aware that it's not just "fixing toilets!" Recommended for anyone who is head of facilities management, planning, administration or real estate for both Government and private industry. Also, coming from the design community, this book should be on every planners shelf. The value chain cycle begins with concept, but many in the design industry forget that this includes construction, operations and maintenance, and lastly disposal.

This text has all the information I needed to learn for my new job. Very comprehensive and easy to read through.

This is an awesome book and I'm glad that the seller had one at such a great price. It arrived very quickly and I will buy from this seller again.

I found the information somewhat dry. This text was used with a 16 week college course. The information is presented without chapter summaries or review questions. I would recommend it for general reading and overview. Much further study is needed to gain knowledge in the area of Facilities Management. Furthermore, the authors seem to feel that the field of Facility Management is unappreciated, and they seem to convey this repeatedly. Possibly, due to more than one author, the Facilities Management presentation recipe suffered.

This is a good book for school, however, it was very dry so if anyone needs this book in the future I would be happy to sell it.
