Building Maintenance Management Book

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.Read More

  • Product Description

    With the increasing cost of new-build work, effective maintenance of existing building stock is becoming ever more important, and building maintenance now represents a significant proportion of construction output. Developments in IT have also meant a more efficient use of data, large amounts of which are generated by maintenance operations.

    This book provides an up-to-date review of building maintenance. It sets maintenance in the context of the industry as a whole and the client's organization and considers the various types of maintenance work. Information management and IT are looked at in detail, and contractual aspects are also discussed. Throughout, the text addresses the issue of facilities management, and emphasizes the importance of the performance of buildings, whether they are viewed as an investment, asset or facility.
