Opis

Introduction to Building Management is now firmly established as a classic text. Its approach remains essentially practical, based on the principal author's extensive management experience in a major construction company. Theories and techniques are included only where they have proven usefulness or have obvious applications. For this revised and updated sixth edition, new material has been added on corporate planning, theory of communications, robotics, value engineering, information technology and data protection.

supported by many useful illustrations.'
