Product Description
Review
"An excellent value text for undergraduates and postgraduates on built environment courses.... It is refreshing to read such a comprehensively up–dated book in this field which covers a wide spectrum of related areas with clear and across the board examples throughout." (Building Engineer, April 2009)
"Bringing the book once again favourably up to date, risk and hazard management, management of the supply chain, waste and H&S management have been introduced.... With its appealing practical delivery of appropriate topics and specific subject content this new edition should continue to be attractive to students and graduates." (McCaffer, April 2009) --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

Format:Paperback
I required a book which would have given me a thorough understanding of construction management and administration and subsequently allowed me to successfully complete my HND.
Being a second year student I've already experienced various books for the different subjects and so far can say nearly all the books I've bought none have disappointed, however, that's due to the various hours spent researching before buying and comments from previous readers go a long way in helping to make an informed choice.
This book is packed with information (such as the real life case studies of projects) and helped me with completing most of the modules with distinction. It is relevantly helpful to subjects such as Management Principles, Health and Safety and a bible for the Group Project.
As I've stated before I used this book for my HND, however, now it will be used for my top-up degree. All I can say is go buy this you won't be disappointed, as I only know too well how hard it is to find the right book with the relevant material.

I had a lecture off the author (Brian Cooke) of this book at Salford University; he is a very good lecturer and really knows what he's on about and the book also shows this! Defiantly a must buy book!
