This well established text is aimed at aspiring construction industry executives and students of civil engineering, building and surveying. The book is divided into three parts - the first two sections deal with the site experience and then head office activities. The third section - a new feature for this edition - provides a comprehensive set of tutorial problems, followed by complete worked solutions, to aid the understanding of techniques featured in the first two sections and to provide a student centred learning package. There is a new chapter on quality management, and new material on design and build contracts, procurement and time, cost and quality
