Von der hinteren Coverseite

This book, widely regarded as the leading text on the subject, reflects the broad understanding required by today's cost planners in their increasingly important role as the client's financial manager.

The book has been updated and reorganised to reflect the industry's shift from work in the public sector to the private sector, and greater emphasis on refurbishment rather than new work.

The contents are divided into three parts, covering the various stages of the construction process:

Stage 1: The brief and the budget - establishing the budget from the standpoint of the client's needs and resources

Stage 2: Designing the budget - designing the project within the client's budget

Stage 3: Controlling the cost - maintaining the budget throughout the project.

At each stage theoretical examples are included, together, for the first time, with some up-to-date, real life examples.
