While most construction management books are project based, this
book looks at management principles and techniques applied to the
day-to-day problems facing a business in the construction industry.
It covers:
* Business strategy
* Industrial relations
* Health and safety
* Managing people
* Financial management
* Quantitative methods
The text includes end of chapter review questions and a range of
illustrative examples.
Since the book was first written in 1982 much has changed. The
Second Edition has been thoroughly revised and takes account
of the increased globalisation of construction, the move from
public to private sector work, the drive for productivity, changing
procurement methods, new emphasis on life cycle costing and much
more.
It will provide a valuable text for undergraduate and
postgraduate courses in construction management, surveying and
civil engineering as well as offering useful insights for
practitioners undertaking CPD activities.
