'This is a very well written book, interesting, comprehensive and easy to read, covering all aspects from maintenence to customer care to energy conservation.'<br /> <p>Building Engineer</p>
A range of approaches to looking after buildings and their users is covered in this book. The rationale and conditions that support them (e.g. PPM - preventative planned maintenance; JIT - just in time) are explained, together with the commercial and environmental imperatives driving new approaches to building care.
Building Care challenges this attitude by elevating maintenance to its proper professional level and explaining new ideas in clear, understandable terms. Practical guidance is offered to those responsible for running buildings - surveyors, facility managers and facility managers – to help them carry out efficient and effective building care services.
Brian Wood reflects the move away from long-term, technology-based maintenance programmes to more customer-focussed practices and covers a range of alternative approaches to looking after buildings and their users.
