	Modern Construction Management - Sixth Edition
	Order Code: CR230A ISBN Number: 1405133252 Publisher: CIRIA No. of Pages: 680 Date of Publication: 2006 Price: £27.99
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. Contents: Preface Introduction Total Quality Management Project Production Management (S/NVQ levels 3 to 4) Production Improvement Process Planning techniques Workforce Motivation Cost Control Plant Management Business Management (NVQ levels 4 to5) Project Procurement Estimating and Tendering Competitive Bidding Budgetary Control Cash Flow and Interim Valuations Economic Assessments Administration and Company Management (NVQ level 5) Company Organisation Market Planning and Business Development International Construction Logistics and Risks Information Flow and Computer Systems Financial Management Self Learning Exercises Problems and worked solutions Operational Research problems and worked solutions
