This book provides comprehensive coverage of issues that facility
managers in the property industry need to understand and apply in
the pursuit of value for money over the life span of built
facilities. The authors introduce the fast-growing discipline of
facility management, examine the core competencies that facility
managers should possess and study different contemporary drivers of
change. The book emphasises the need to consider facilities
management issues at the pre-design stage of the construction
process, rather than only when the building is completed, in order
to maximise value for money.
