To deliver a construction project on time, at cost and of
appropriate quality, it is critical to manage the design and
construction process effectively…
This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the field of
process management in design and construction in order to meet the
business needs of the construction industry as they change in
today’s highly competitive global environment.
It identifies the current state of the industry in the process
management field, describing trends and developments (including
information technology), and demonstrates these through case study
evidence. Practical guidance is offered by identifying potential
pitfalls, illustrating best practise drawn from construction and
appropriate manufacturing applications. The overall approach is a
holistic one, based on practical experience gained throughout the
past decade both in the academic and industrial environments,
including leading a number of research projects on process and IT
related topics in construction and manufacturing industries.
Process Management in Design and Construction will
provide students on construction and project management related
courses with a description of the state of process management in
design and construction – including current process models –
as well as a future vision based on up-to-date research findings
and good practice in the construction industry. The book also
offers practical guidance to industrial and consultancy
organisations on undertaking and implementing process management
projects – including re-engineering their customer delivery
processes through effective project
