Performing a TDD survey involves collecting, analysing and reporting on a huge amount of information, often under specific contractual conditions. The book covers everything the surveyor needs to know in order to do a proper job and includes analysis of materials, life cycles and potential defects on an elemental basis, with detail on individual components where necessary.Coverage includes: an introduction to the TDD process and types of commercial buildings encountered chapters outlining the life cycle and dTable of Contents Introduction Defining Technical Due Diligence and Commercial Surveying The Nature of TDD and Commercial Building Surveys The Acquisition Process Environmental Due Diligence Process Overview Commercial property Clients Professionals Constraints and Checklists Aims, Objectives and Outcomes TDD – Desk Survey Prior to the Site Visit The Visit or Site Inspection Reporting Process Further Investigations TDD and Building Management Contract Instruction Outline the Contract Instruction Scope of Works Specific Services Limitations Programme Fees Commercial Sectors Offices Retail Industrial Residential Leisure Public Sector Roofs Strength and Stability Durability Weathertightness Thermal Efficiency Technical Due Diligence Process and Inspection Inspection Principles Flat Roofs Versus Pitched Roofs Cold Deck Versus Warm Deck Roof Coverings Parapet Walls Rainwater Evacuation Roof Lights Other Structure Low-rise Commercial Buildings Structural Movement of Low-rise Commercial Properties Foundation Movement Medium- and High-rise Commercial Properties Concrete Structure Steel Structure Timber Structure Structure Summary Façades Functional Requirements Common Façade Materials Brick Loadbearing Stone Facades Painted Stone Stone Cladding Metal Façade Cladding Render Concrete Concrete and Industrial Buildings Timber Glass Façade Cladding Systems Weathering Steel Vegetation Graffiti Facades Summary Finishes Common Parts Surveying Internal Finishes Site Inspection and Survey Floors Walls Internal Partitions and Doors Ceilings Specific Use Areas Finishes Summary Building Services Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) Electricity Water/Sanitary Provision Fire Detection / Alarm /Firefighting Lifts Summary of Building Services Assessment External Areas Car Parking Access Roads Pavements, Patios and Decking Storage Yards and Hardstanding Areas Waste Areas Outbuildings Lighting Signage Fencing and Boundaries Vegetation and Landscaping Summary of External Areas Legal / Technical Health and Safety Fire Precautions Accessibility Environmental Consideration and Sustainability Deleterious Materials Cultural Heritage Statutory Matters Rights of Way, Easements and Shared Services Boundaries Guarantees and Warranties Leasehold and Repairing Liabilities

This book presents and analyzes the main conclusions of a comparative research programme on land tenure issues.

Cambridge University Press Autocracy and Redistribution
Book SynopsisThis book shows that land redistribution - the most consequential form of redistribution in the developing world - occurs more often under dictatorship than democracy. It offers a novel theory of land reform and tests it using extensive original data dating back to 1900.Trade Review'This book is an exceptional achievement. It combines theoretical and methodological sophistication with empirical richness. Albertus demonstrates that land redistribution is more likely under dictatorship than democracy and builds a persuasive argument about why that is the case. The book is an outstanding contribution to the literatures on land redistribution, democracies and dictatorships, political economy, and Latin American politics.' Scott Mainwaring, Eugene and Helen Conley Professor of Political Science, University of Notre Dame'Albertus' book is a must-read for understanding distributive politics in Latin America and beyond. Albertus provides a crucial contribution to the discipline by focusing on the political incentives leading to redistribution under different types of political regime. Based on an impressive study of land reforms, he provides a novel theory for understanding land redistribution and the different conditions that led to land renegotiation and colonization. This shift to the incentives of elites and their institutional possibilities provides a crucial contribution to the literature on democracy and redistribution. He finds support for his theory using an impressive dataset of cross-national evidence combined with in-depth longitudinal analyses of Peru and Venezuela. Without doubt, this book will become a reference in comparative studies of development and distributive politics more generally.' M. Victoria Murillo, Columbia University'In this important book Albertus provides new answers to a range of questions about land reform. When does meaningful land reform take place? Why are some reform programs more efficient than others? Albertus' answers - for example, that land reform is more likely under authoritarian regimes than under democratic ones - challenge the conventional wisdom. This book will be of interest to comparative scholars as well students of economic development.' Barry R. Weingast, Ward C. Krebs Family Professor, Stanford University'A great paradox of modern political life is that concentrated landed wealth is a great frozen ice cap blocking the emergence of modern democracy and development. Yet, democracies themselves seem less capable of implementing land reform than autocracies. To date we have only the barest understanding of the complex politics of land reform. In this careful and ambitious study, Michael Albertus untangles these puzzles, constructing the most comprehensive cross-national and historical dataset on land reform alongside carefully crafted case studies of Peru and Venezuela. The result is an argument that provides the most compelling political theory of land reform to date that has broad implications for the study of democracy, redistribution and autocracy.' Daniel Ziblatt, Harvard University, MassachusettsTable of Contents1. Introduction; 2. Actors, interests, and the origins of elite splits; 3. A theory of land reform; 4. Measuring land reform; 5.

The University of Chicago Press Marketable Values Inventing the Property Market
Book SynopsisAn account of the creation of the property market in modern Britain, which had not known a robust market in property as a truly separate, tradeable good before, but instead had seen it as part of a complicated web of social and political obligation and power.Trade Review"Fitz-Gibbon has written a fascinating account of the everyday experiences, social relationships, and individual desires that built the 'real estate market' in nineteenth-century imperial Britain. With great wit and a Dickensian eye for detail, Fitz-Gibbon introduces the people and knowledge systems that produced the modern idea of a property market. The Victorian auction house, trade press, file cabinet, and 'horrors of house hunting' thus all find their rightful place in the history of capitalism."--Erika Rappaport, University of California, Santa Barbara "Markets and commercial practice are products of culture and imagination, of statistical constructs and legal formulations. Fitz-Gibbon provides an outstanding analysis, full of insight and rich detail, of that most fundamental of all markets: property. His engaging book will appeal to cultural, social, and economic historians, and more generally to anyone who has experienced the emotion of buying and selling a house."--Martin Daunton, University of Cambridge "Marketable Values provides much-needed insight into how a market for property emerged and the role of agents and auctions in creating and communicating value. With its original research, fresh approach, and clear voice, this book will make an important contribution to consumer culture and the creation of markets in modern society."--Frank Trentmann, author of Empire of Things

This book investigates the change even as a number of pastoralist communities have sought to transform their land tenure system from communal to private ownership.Trade ReviewLesorogol's use of experimental economics in this book is exciting and important.
