Reviews a series of building services with an emphasis on
maintenance systems and policies. Discusses commissioning as the hinge
between construction and use. Explores the evolution in maintenance
thinking and the relationship between the building and those who occupy
it. Examines reliability‐centred maintenance, including time as a basis
of maintenance, posing seven questions which lie at the heart of policy
setting, and a procedure for implementation. Outlines the
design/commissioning/maintenance link, advocating the use of a database
abstracted from litigation, and analysis of failed buildings as a basis
for design.
