Publisher's Synopsis
There is increasing pressure upon clients, in particular government departments and local authorities, to procure construction projects in a best practice manner. 'Design and Build' is one procurement approach used extensively, both in the UK and worldwide; being recognised for its capability to deliver real value to both public and private sector clients. The book is based on the findings of an Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) funded project. It reports on the factual experiences of those construction practitioners involved in Design and Build procurement and presents practical tools for the application of best practice tendering. This book provides a comprehensive guide for consultants and practitioners involved in the procurement process, in addition to undergraduate and postgraduate students studying construction management and surveying-related courses.
