A comprehensive Guidebook [1] is available that consolidates guidelines
from the Buildings Department (BD) and other relevant sources for
building owners, Owners' Corporations, Owners' Committees and
personnel involved in building maintenance and management. Besides
identifying the legal responsibilities of owners and usual problems
encountered, it also enhances readers' awareness of the existing
conditions of buildings and facilitates the formulation of plans for
rectification and improvement. Further guidance on the management and
setting up of a building maintenance programme is given in ISO [2] and
British Standards [3].
