Costing building maintenance
Language: English Series: Building Technology & Management ; 25(4) August/September 1987, 28-30(3)Publication details: 1987Subject(s): Summary: A paper which argues that by compiling a structured language for building maintenance jobs, an effective database of cost information can be set up which will improve both cost planning and estimating for small firms. Includes details of how to set about compiling a readily accessible bank of times for building repairs, and concludes that maintenance is not infinitely variable and a practical database of activity output times can be achieved. Thus small building firms will no longer need to rely on published schedules, but can collect a library of jobs and times involved to their own needs.| Item type | Current library | Call number | Copy number | Status | Barcode | |
