INTRODUCTORY OVERVIEW

Managing buildings

Buildings or equipment may be a valuable asset for any organisation but they can become a liability if they aren’t looked after well. Managing and maintaining these assets requires forward financial planning – assessing what and when maintenance and renewals will be needed and putting money aside for these future costs.

This overview provides some points to consider when looking at the issues involved in managing buildings: others in this section look at managing and resourcing ICT and transport.
