Description
The bible of the industrial storage and distribution industry and the manual of policy and practice. It provides information for those
with empty buildings on their hands, those trying to find space for new and/or growing enterprises and those faced with the problem of
how to manage multi-tenant, multi-use buildings. An outline of feasibility studies both from the standpoint of users looking for a building
and buildings looking for a use is also included. One is matched with the other.
The whole process is explained and placed in a legal
and planning framework. Allowances for technological change and expansion are outlined as well as an explanation of the significance
of various patterns of ownership, tenancy and management that can be adopted. As the container has been universally acepted for use in
materials handling, this book is internationally relevant.
Preface by George Heery AIA of the Heery Corporation, one of the largest
and most successful industrial storage and distribution companies in the US.
