Summary

This text describes how the savings of 30% in the costs of construction, which were identified in the Latham report, can be achieved. The book has a managerial rather than technological approach and will be of value to students on BTEC HNC/D building/civil engineering studies, and those taking degree courses in quantity and building surveying, construction management and building.

Added Value in Design and Construction Summary

Added Value in Design and Construction by Allan Ashworth (University of Salford, UK)

Added Value in Design and Construction takes a holistic, student-centred approach to offering public and private sector clients the ultimate reward; doing more for less. The Latham Report was a call to action and this book provides students of construction with the theoretical and practical knowledge to deliver the recommendations of the report. It describes the principles and techniques crucial to adding value and reducing costs in design and construction in the twenty first century. This book examines in detail a wide range of strategies that can be applied during the design and construction process to add value and bring the best interests of the client sharply into focus.
