A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
No one in an organisation knows better than the facilities manager just how hot the competition for space can be—and materials handling is one area in which it is only too easy for the unproductive to push out the productive. The expense of office space—with City of London rentals now exceeding £30/ft2, £12/ft2 common even in the suburbs, and the rate contribution now averaging 55 per cent of rental countrywide—means that facilities managers must continually be on their guard against unstructured uses. Materials delivery, storage, circulation and expulsion as waste are all essential but unproductive elements in the life cycle of the building, and particularly prone to encroach on office space if not formally planned.
