Construction Project Management

The construction industry, having been fundamentally challenged by the Egan and Latham reports, is moving to a new way of working. This textbook takes the reader through all the key steps in construction project management and the management of the construction firm. Each stage is illustrated with case studies and practical examples. Management in construction is rapidly changing, with new approaches to procurement and management of projects, and an increasing emphasis on co-operative relationships between the client and the contractor. The industry is learning new ways of managing, both at the level of the individual project and across the firm as a whole. This book is a practical and accessible guide to both aspects of management, designed to complement courses in construction management for students and professionals alike.
