This textbook provides the wider understanding of the construction process and techniques which is required by today's cost planners in their ever important role as the client's financial manager. The book has been revised to reflect the move from the public to the private sector and the greater incidence of alteration and refurbishment work. The text has been rewritten in a more modern, user-friendly format.
Reviews / Votes
"Still ranks as the classic text for many practitioners and academics...well written, as expected, and adds considerable value to this very interesting topic area." ineering, Construction & Architectural Management "This is a very useful book that gives the opportunity to look at schemes, very much from the finance aspect, and it would be useful reading for people moving into the area of economics and the professional role as the client's financial manager. It provides background reading to many of the degree programmes currently available." lding EngineerMore details
