Key people

Abstract

These days buildings have to stand up and justify themselves. They have to be carefully organised and controlled—made to function as separate entities, intelligent and cost‐effective. In last month's Analysis on materials handling, the organic image was clearly established, presenting the building as an entity, with cycles of decline and regeneration. Keeping buildings healthy and alive entails setting up the right systems and procedures: keeping the right records: planning and controlling maintenance: and knowing when and what to replace.
