Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since publication of the first edition of this book some 10 years ago, there has been a growing awareness of the importance of building maintenance in the overall context of property management, and the need to obtain maximum value for the increasingly large sums spent on maintenance work. Maintenance management has been extensively researched but the main problem now lies in implementing the results. This book deals in a systematic and comprehensive way with the management of building maintenance and gives guidance on the related legislative and other constraints. This revised edition has been updated to reflect new thinking on the subject, to take account of changes in legislation, and to include new material on the use of computers and their application to maintenance decision making and information feedback. There is a completely new chapter on the causes of the more common building defects.
