This is the classic practical introduction to the broad principles of building management. It is suitable for both students and practising construction professionals who are concerned with greater efficiency within the construction industry. As a general textbook for the student; the introduction covers the entire field in some depth providing a firm foundation for additional reading. The text is closely geared to the chartered Institute of Building (Member) Parts I and II examinations. The book includes examples based upon and related to working experience. It will also be found valuable by students reading for the examinations of other professional bodies in the construction industry; and by HNC/D students.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Annoying ommissionsBy Kindle CustomerThe omissions are most annoying with this book. When it speaks of the Drop in Center of Over the Rhine it only deals with the more famous works for the homeless of Mr. Buddy Gray. Mr. Gray was an important figure. not knocking him. However. like most modern era reporting of Over the Rhine history it neglects the prior work of Drop In Centers on Vine Street devoted to inner city youth. I speak of the original Over The Rhine Drop in Center on 1329 Vine Street with Robert (Ricky) Simpson as director. Reported in The Cincinnati Post March 29. 1972 (last paragraph.) The youth based Over The Rhine Drop in Center did some great work that should not be forgotten. I know. I was there.As a libertarian of political ideology. I am not fond of government programs. But as waste is one side of the coin. there was another that should be discussed as freely and honestly. Some of the program spending of that era did some remarkable things for people who usually do not get much positive societal attention.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
