Facilities Management (FM) and Corporate Real Estate Management (CREM) are two closely related and relatively new management disciplines with developing international professions and increasing academic attention. Both disciplines have from the outset a strong focus on controlling and reducing cost for real estate, facilities, and related services. In recent years, there has been a shift towards placing more emphasis on how FM/CREM can add value to the organization. This book is driven by the need to develop a widely accepted and easily applicable conceptual framework of adding value by FM and CREM. It presents the state of the art of theoretical knowledge and empirical evidence about the impact of buildings and facilities on 12 value parameters and how to manage and measure these values. The findings are connected to a new Value Adding Management model.

The book is research-based with a focus on guidance to practice. It offers a transdisciplinary approach, integrating academic knowledge from various different fields with practical experience. It also includes 12 interviews with practitioners, shedding light on how they manage adding value in practice. This is a much-needed resource for practitioners, researchers, and teachers from the field of FM and CREM, as well as students at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
