Facility managers discuss best practices for keeping renovation projects on budget and on time in an article from Building Operating Management on the FacilitiesNet website.
Major work on an existing building means dealing with one-of-a-kind existing conditions as well as a unique history that ranges from equipment performance to occupant experience.

2. What will occupants think?
3. How green should your building standards be?
4. What role should vendors play in setting product standards?
