Maintaining Building Services

Overview

Free copy of BSRIA's Business Focused Maintenance guide for all delegates.

Do you clearly understand what your sub-contractors are doing - or what they're supposed to do?

• Have you ever wanted to find out what Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) is?
• Do you get the feeling that maintenance contractors are setting their own agendas?
• Are you the Responsible Person when it comes to meeting Legislation?
• Do you know the difference between Statutory and Mandatory maintenance?

If you want to understand how to run building services successfully then this course is for you. It is aimed at providing attendees with an appreciation of the fundamental principles that drive building services and how they should be operated and maintained while ensuring they support the needs of the core business. This is an introductory course that will guide you through appropriate elements of plant and systems and the resources that are available to you and draw on BSRIA's experiences of best practice.
