Construction Cost Management: Learning from Case Studies by Keith Potts (University of Wolverhampton, UK)
On time and in budget.
As a construction project manager, achieving this while maintaining quality is the most valuable package you can offer your clients. Of course, its value derives largely from it's difficulty if it were easy to complete jobs entirely to plan then it would happen rather more often.
Using a combination of worked examples and case studies, this book examines how projects go over-cost, what lessons can be learned from past examples and what approaches have successfully been employed. Example case studies include:
- The Scottish Parliament
-
- Wembley Stadium
-
- Heathrow Terminal 5.
If you're studying Surveying or Construction Management, or starting out as a Construction Cost Manager and need to plan or assess construction projects then this is the book for you.
