Product Description

Review
From the Foreword by Rob Smith, Senior Partner, Davis Langdon LLP:
The Aqua Group Guide… provides a comprehensive account of the systems, procedures, documents and industry practices encountered during construction projects. The guide also captures and contains the level of understanding that one is expected to have acquired in order to pass professional examinations and, therefore, provides a good grounding to a successful career in the construction industry.


From the reviews of previous editions:

‘These publications by the Aqua Group are absolutely essential reading for the young architect, civil engineer and QS.’ Chartered Quantity Surveyor

‘This is a good concise book for members of the building team.’ The Architects’ Journal

Product Description
The period from starting a college course to successful completion of professional examinations represents a long and steep learning curve. The range of skills and the knowledge required to perform work efficiently and effectively might, at first, seem rather daunting. This guide will provide you with sufficient understanding and hold you in good stead for your early years in professional practice.

The Aqua Group Guide to Procurement, Tendering and Contract Administration is the merging of three established textbooks written by the Aqua Group – a highly respected group of architects and quantity surveyors. It has been edited, enlarged and updated into a single volume by Davis Langdon and now covers the entire building process from inception through to final account.

With clear and thorough explanations by practising professionals from this distinguished practice, you are taken through self–contained chapters covering the detail of:

∗ the briefing stage;
∗ procurement methods;
∗ tendering procedures; and
∗ contract administration.

Throughout, the emphasis is on current best practice and the book draws from the widely used Joint Contracts Tribunal (JCT) series of contracts, notably the 2005 edition of the Standard Building Contract.

This authoritative guide provides a detailed account of the building team′s roles and responsibilities, and industry practice required to ensure that projects meet clients′ expectations in respect of time, cost and quality.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, Buy this book, 2 Nov 2007
By Mr. A. Notridge "A.Notridge" (Sutton, London, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is fantastic.
I am currently in my second year of Quantity Surveying Consultancy at Kingston University, London.
This book sets out all you need to know about Procurement routes, tendering procedures and contract administration and it does it in a manner that is easy to read and understandable.
I fully recommend this book to anyone entering this type of profession, just begginning or someone who would like to learn more about this type of subject. It is an easy read and fully understandable to almost anyone.
A great book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent guide which is up to date, 19 Mar 2009
By A. Down (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is an excellent guide to exactly what it says on the front!
As a Part 3 Architectural student at Kingston University in my 8th year of study I have found this guide essential to my many essays on Construction Management.
The text is authoritative, accurate, easy to understand and, most importantly, very up-to-date. Crucially, it deals with the 2005 suite of JCT contracts and references the 2007 CDM regs.
Plus, there's pictures!
Seriously though, if you are studying for your Part 3 this is essential, it removes the need to look in about 4 or 5 separate books.
