Modelling and estimating the reliability of construction components. Chemical treatment residues in buildings. The urgency of building maintenance management in South Africa with specific reference to low cost housing. Project management : a growing profession but still misunderstood. The impact of compulsory competitive tendering on the management of public sector housing stock. An evaluation of construction clients` effort in achieving their project needs. Addressing the risk of fire during the construction refurbishment process by better management. A strategy for effective material control on housebuilding sites : a case study. The insensitivity of the procurement process in the UK construction industry to the problems of occasional buyers form the industry : the potential for the chartered surveyor as principal adviser. Risk analysis and management for major construction projects. Corporate objectives, facilities, measurement and use : a university case study. Small is different : a strategy of effective management of maintenance in non profit making organisations. Factors associated with insolvencies amongst civil engineering contractors in South Africa. Domestic subsidence claims : is there a role for the chartered building surveyor? An appraisal of European construction productivity for insitu concrete buildings. Facility management and security. The development of strategic facilities management within a government research establishment. Quantity and inexactitude in facilities management. The role of building and facilities management in disaster recovery planning. The potential of the quantity surveyor as reflective practitioner. Discovering an individuals risk behaviour profile The effectiveness of the briefing process in the attainment of client objectives for construction projects in South Africa. Does the possession of the ISO 9000 certificate provide a measure of quality? Using interactive multi-media in the teaching of the construction process. A neurofuzzy model for predicting the cost and duration of construction projects. An investigation of the application of artificial neural networks to the forecast of construction demand. User interaction and user response in a mixed mode, mechanically and naturally ventilated building. A model for considering operational property as an enabling resouce to business. The failiure prediction of UK private construction companies. New environments for working : the future of the office. Designing for short life : a study into the development of resuable packaged building services in the healthcare sector. Thermal improvements in commercial office refurbishments : a comparison of current practice in Amsterdam, Hamburg, London, New York and Toronto.
