Building Services Job Book: A Project Framework for Engineering Services

The Job Book organises the delivery of engineering services within a project management framework. Responsibilities and actions are arranged into work stages that dovetail with standard forms of procurement, such as the RIBA Plan of Work(2008), ACE work stages, Office of Government Commerce(OGC) Gateway, and the requirements of the Soft Landings Framework. "The Building Services Job Book" provides easy to use activity checklists, tools and templates in order for building services professionals to respond systematically to the stages of briefing, design development, construction, pre-handover and long term aftercare. The tools and templates sections include pro-formas for design brief responses, and templates for risk assessment and commissioning. There is also a range of templates for managing time, cost quality and safety at all stages of a project. Guidance is also provided to dovetail and support emerging issues faced by building services delivery teams, such as site waste management, sustainability, energy use and post occupancy aftercare services.
