Building and Facilities Maintenance Management: An Innovative Operational Approach is a new introductory textbook aimed at students who are studying building maintenance and asset management for the first time as part of their undergraduate or foundation course. The book plugs a gap in the current curriculum and literature which must now seek to educate emerging professionals about the significance of the operational phase of a built asset?s lifecycle, if the challenges of the day are to be met head on.

Each chapter is supported by seminar questions and formative assessment tasks to allow the learner to assess their own progress through the text and covers:

• The nature and importance of building maintenance for the successful strategic operation of an estate


• contracting and procurement of maintenance works


• risk assessment in maintenance management


• surveying for common maintenance issues and defects


• the relationship between maintenance management and environmental sustainability


• and maintenance and conservation of historic buildings

The book will help readers enhance their awareness, understanding and breadth of knowledge of the issues around improving organisational maintenance management. A handy guide for emerging professionals, this practical book is also ideal reading for anyone studying facilities management, building surveying, construction management, real estate and property management.
