520			_aThe case of "Nottingham Community Housing Association v Powerminster Ltd" has alerted facilities managers to the liberal interpreation given to the meaning of a construction contract in the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996. In his conclusion the Judge stated: 'The work of altering or dismantling heating and other systems that have been installed in a building is every bit as much a 'construction' activity as the work of altering the walls or roof of a building'. Considers the implications of this ruling for facilities management contracts.
