Construction Management 2e: New Directions - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

The construction industry continues to face substantial demands for improvement in quality and cost control, and a reduction in contract disputes. A number of management concepts have been promoted to help achieve this, but many in the industry find the concepts confusing and are sceptical about their usefulness.

This book brings together, in a single volume, the main management concepts relevant to the construction industry, providing an objective account of the concepts and showing how they interrelate:

* value management

* buildability

* benchmarking

* total quality management

* partnering and alliancing

* supply chain management (new for this edition)

* re-engineering

In addition to a new chapter, a new section on strategic alliancing has been added. Text and references have been updated throughout.
