Construction Management is a wide ranging discipline, butultimately it is a demanding, hands-on discipline concerned withthe management of people, plant and materials, all mobilised tocomplete a building project safely, on time, on budget and to theclient's satisfaction.
Management of Construction Projects is a highlyillustrated series of case studies based on seven live constructionmanagement projects, demonstrating the very practical nature ofmanaging projects. The detailed case studies cover a variety ofconstruction projects, varying in value from £1million to£117 million, including a major inner city office block, aportal framed factory unit, a university refurbishment project, asuperstore & car park and a new school building. The casestudies emphasise detailed on site management procedures andidentify a predominantly functional approach to managing projects.A number of related chapters covering practical and theoreticalaspects of construction management support and illustrate theindividual case studies.
With a strong emphasis on the practical nature of the subject,Management of Construction Projects is an ideal introductionto the subject for all students on construction and related degreeand diploma programmes. It will be of particular interest tostudents preparing for the CIOB EPA programme and the new NVQcourses at level 4 and 5 in construction management.
