Résumé

The authors have responded to some fairly critical remarks in a review of the last edition and the book has undergone a thorough revision, weeding out some of the older material (e.g. work studies) to leave more room to cover new processes now considered essential to achieving lean construction - supply networks; value and risk management; PFI/PPP, etc. Attention has been paid current issues of concern in construction management - productivity and KPIs; the environment and sustainability; health and safety; and skills training.

A key 'selling story' for the 6th edition will be the revision of the contents to reflect the Construction Skills Certification Scheme - a new scheme to improve skills (NB the government's commitment to having a fully registered and qualified work force by 2010), whereby the major contractors will only employ managers who have achieved NVQ levels 3/4/5. The required knowledge for the relevant competencies at each of the three levels will be interwoven throughout the new edition, to align with the career structure in construction management.
