About the Book

An essential introduction to the management of building projects Construction management is a complex discipline with many facets. The essence of construction management is the delivery of construction projects to meet the client’s goals whilst recognising the commercial interests of the many designers, consultants and contractors involved. Balancing the expected quality outcomes, the highest safety standards and time and budget pressures is not an easy task. Therefore, students and practitioners looking to understand the core principles of construction management need an authoritative, accessible and comprehensive text on the subject. Since its first edition in 1998, Construction Planning, Programming and Control has met this need with its practical approach to the management of construction projects. The book covers the principles and practice of project time and cost control and includes key related topics and more. It places the subject matter in the context of the challenges facing the construction industry and explains complex issues in a practical and understandable way. Readers of the fourth edition of Construction Planning, Programming and Control will also find detailed coverage of: Procurement and contracts, supply chain and risk management and health and safety management including CDM 2015 JCT 2016, NEC4; ICC and FIDIC conditions of contract Method statements and the development of safe systems of work Three new major case studies including an in-depth look at HS2 Fully updated content to reflect new thinking with regard to modern methods of construction (MMC), building information modelling (BIM) and the latest planning and cost management software Construction Planning, Programming and Control is an invaluable reference for students of construction management, surveying, civil engineering, and more.
