Abstract:	Discusses perceptions of building maintenance and care. Contrasts the “received wisdom” of planned preventive maintenance with the concept of “Just- in-time maintenance”. Identifies possible locations of “intelligence” in people and buildings. Also examines the relationship between technology and users, particularly regarding user-satisfaction. Considers the penetration of the maintenance/care market by non-traditional players and describes features of “Call-centred maintenance”. Identifies the opportunity within the Private Finance Initiative for total building care services.
