The Facility Management Handbook

Addresses both the functions and principles of facility management and provides a programme for satisfying every job requirement. These include - planning and forecasting; real estate acquisition; the design/build cycle; operations and management; and budgeting and accounting.

"When a company's facilities are intelligently, cohesively managed -- rather than just haphazardly operated -- the results go straight to the bottom line. And given the high costs associated with facilities, the savings that good management brings are significant.

Now completely revised and updated, this best-seller covers the entire facility management arena, including:

* strategic facility business planning

* leadership

* managing the design process

* managing facility finances

* leasing

* operations, maintenance, and repair

* benchmarking, cost savings/avoidances, and more."
