Preface
This book was created to provide undergraduate students in facilities
management, project management and other built environment related
programmes with an introduction to facilities planning and design. Its
coverage enables it to also double as an introduction to the subject, for
budding facility planners, facility project managers, facility managers
and other building professionals that would like to learn more about
the essentials of facilities planning and design. The ten essentials of
facilities planning and design found in this book are distilled from the
author’s extensive international working experience at large airport
projects and facilities.
By learning about the planning and design processes as it relates
to facilities, readers will be able to do the following:
1. Align facilities planning and design with the organisation’s strategic
priorities.
2. Manage design consultants by understanding the planning and
design process.
3. Manage the planning and design of spaces at different scales:
a) room and spaces in a building
b) building level
c) campus level (with multiple buildings spread over the campus)
4. Manage the use of existing space effectively in a facility.
This book covers the general aspects of facilities planning and design
for students and facility professionals currently working in owner-occupied facilities.

and universities which are large organisations with extensive campuses
and are asset heavy in terms of buildings. Students that are seeking
careers in these complex facilities will benefit from learning about
these ten essential areas facilities planning and design covered in this

sequentially, or as individual stand-alone references or resources for
specific aspects of facility planning, management and design.
