Many client organisations occupy large and often diverse property
estates which require significant expenditure on maintenance,
alterations, refurbishment or small-scale new building work.
Effective organisation and efficient allocation of resources are
essential to ensure that the works are carried out successfully.
This book provides a detailed introduction to small works
procurement and management within the large client organisation, a
significant sector of the construction industry which has hitherto
been neglected by researchers. In the large organisational context,
characterised by large property holdings perhaps over wide
geographic areas, the importance of ensuring maximum efficiency of
resource use is crucial. If the regular and numerous work which is
required throughout the year is not carried out in line with
organisational goals then the core business will suffer.The book
focuses on the suitability, efficiency and effectiveness of
procurement, organisation and management of small works, and
outlines the main stages in the formulation and implementation of
well-defined and measurable objectives. Overall it will enable the
reader to understand the decision factors involved in designing a
small works procurement strategy. The Procurement and Management of
Small Works and Minor Maintenance is an indispensible reference for
all facilities managers, consultants and contractors. It is also
useful reading for undergarduate and postgraduate courses in
building, construction management, maintenance and facilities
management.
