• Whether small-, medium- or large-scale construction, new build or upgrade;
whether cabling has to last for the short‐term or over many years, making the
right decisions will affect the way an investment works and how the end users
experience service delivery as a network or applications experience.
• This is the first book to map out the issues, highlight the risk areas and offer
guidance to those in the industry, written by professionals who have first-hand
experience of delivering www.shop.bsigroup.com/ecodesign
telecommunications infrastructure projects over many years.
• It is a must-read for those conceiving, designing or procuring structured cabling
for the built environment, including funding sponsors, project managers, IT and
finance directors, architects, building services engineers, telecommunications
consultants, other specialists, quantity surveyors and cabling installers.
