'essential reading for all those who want to add value and reduce uncertainty in their development and construction projects' - Peter Rogers, Chairman, Strategic Forum for Construction 'I feel that this book is so important .it is very well written in a clear and concise prose. Even battle-hardened risk and value managers like myself will benefit from revisiting best practice, refreshing our tools and techniques and gaining new insights to stretch ourselves.' QS News 'Countless practical examples and anecdotes, some of these pertaining to international projects. Their high number and frequent usage reflect the author's wealth of experience while substantiating the practicality of concepts...The book is an excellent resource and I recommend it.' CME Jan 2007
