Information is key to facilities management
Cowan, A.
Information is key to facilities management - 2001 - CSM (Chartered Surveyor Monthly) April 2001, 32-33(2) .
The fact that 7,000 surveyors have joined the recently formed RICS Facilities Management faculty, confirms that facilities management is a growing field. It is clearly becoming an important management tool for organisations, and facilities managers now have responsibility for looking after buildings. To carry out this task effectively, and control expenditure, they need reliable and relevant information about their buildings. Describes how the BCIS and BMI can provide facilities managers with such information. For instance, considers the BMI's "Property occupancy cost analysis" and how this can help. Table and diagram.
