Achieving value in construction is now emerging as the main
challenge facing the construction team if they are to offer the
best service for the client. No longer is the aim simply to keep
costs under control.
This book from the RICS Foundation analyses how to provide best
value by the effective application of leading edge techniques and
processes throughout the entire life cycle of buildings, from the
business case which underpins their initiation to the achievement
of a satisfactory project out-turn.
This book is a successor to Quantity Surveying Techniques: New
Directions, edited by Peter Brandon and published on behalf of the
Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors by Blackwell. It will be
of interest not only to surveyors and construction managers but
also to final year undergraduates of construction degrees.
‘[This book] will make a major contribution to the
advancement of the methods by which construction professionals
provide a service to their clients’ – Professor Peter
Brandon
