Code of Practice for Project Management for Construction and Development

The first edition of the Code of Practice for Project Management for Construction and Development, published in 1992, was ground-breaking. The book continues to be the authoritative guide and reference to the principles and practice of project management in construction and development. Nevertheless, new technologies, internationalisation, changing legislation and relatively poor productivity and profitability of contractors are driving great change within industry. The new sixth edition remains current with coverage in the following areas: * Quality management/quality assurance/quality control * Global codes and standards e.g. ISO 9001 * Time/programme/schedule management * New contract compliance requirements, such as NEC4 * Dealing with joint ventures * Logistics * Supply chain integration * Importance of culture * Ethics * Modern slavery * Off-site production and prefabrication, modularisation, volumetric construction * Design management * Digitisation of the design process * The impact of BIM (2D to nD) * New technologies e.g. virtual reality, augmented reality, RFID, use of drones * I&CT including, interoperability etc. * The cloud and collaborative platforms * Heritage issues * Repair, maintenance and refurbishment * The importance of estimating and its impact on time and money * Cash flow management - a client perspective * Professional indemnity insurances (up to specified upper limit)
