Description
The concept of value in projects is a key issue for everyone involved in the construction industry. Building in Value brings together
many experts in the field to outline the wide range of tools, techniques and procedures that can and should be used to make the building
procurement phase as efficient as possible. The authors go on to discuss how to ensure that future problems in the design and construction
of the buildings are anticipated at the start and to minimise the liklihood of future hiccups. Integrating strategic, financial and construction
management techniques, this book provides an essential guide for construction professionals.
Audience
Postgraduate and senior undergraduate students of construction management and related subjects. Professional construction managers, project
managers, architecs, services engineers, quantity surveyors, cost engineers and facilities managers.
