Building and civil engineering turnover can account for 10% of Gross National Product for many nations. However, the annual growth in construction productivity too often falls below that achieved by the economy as a whole. The measures required to improve this scenario are complex and linked to many factors, a number external to the industry. The authors of this comprehensive text maintain that effective production management methods lie at the root of improving productivity, irrespective of the many other issues.

Based on their extensive teaching, research and consultancy experience, the authors have produced a book that will be valuable to professionals and students alike. Contractors, engineers, builders, quantity surveyors, manufacturers and designers will benefit from this useful handbook for planning and managing field construction for building and civil engineering construction projects. Diploma, degree and graduate students will gain a firm grasp of the principles and practice of production management.
