Building Maintenance is a core text on the technical aspects of maintenance for undergraduate degree students on built environment courses, particularly building surveying and facilities management. It addresses the who, what, where,when, how and why of maintenance activities and shows that maintenance shouldbe considered seriously at the design stage. Extensive case studies illustrate what can go wrong, how to put matters right and how to get it right first time next time. Several chapters are devoted to defect recognition and rectification, including both building elements and building services, and checklists illustrate what to look for when things go wrong. By encouraging maintenance managers to stand back and take a strategic view of building maintenance alongside their day-to-day tasks, this book will help practitioners and students to achieve that a professional approach to building maintenance.
