Difficult financial times have forced most companies to better manage their physical assets. As a result, facility managers at all levels contribute more to the bottom line than ever before. The Facility Management Handbook addresses both the functions and principles of facility management together. It provides a complete programme for satisfying every job requirement. These include - planning and forecasting; real estate acquisition; the design/build cycle; operations and management; budgeting and accounting; and general administrative services. Holding down operating costs is a growing responsibility. The Facility Management Handbook is a practical tool for facility managers to improve their efficiency from the boiler room on up the ladder.
