Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

As an industrial process, construction is unique. The procurement processes used to achieve the successful completion of built assets requires a different approach to that adopted in most other industries, due to the design of buildings being bespoke and the sites being geographically varied. The procurement process is central to the success of any construction project and many of the problems which impact construction projects can be traced back to the procurement phase. Therefore, a good understanding of the methods of procurement, the development of a procurement strategy, and the influence it has on project success is essential for all those working in the industry.

Much has changed in the global construction industry since publication of the second edition of Building Procurement. For example, there has been an increase in the debt burden of many major economies, widespread adoption of Building Information Modelling (BIM) Technology in the industry, and the United Kingdom's exit from the European Union. This new edition has been rewritten to take account of these significant developments, but at its core, it continues to provide a critical examination and review of current procurement practices in the UK, continental Europe (including EU procurement procedures), China, the Middle East, Sub-Saharan Africa, and the USA. It retains its original strong emphasis on the need for clients to establish achievable objectives which reflect the project business case and focuses on development of suitable strategies and management structures to meet those objectives in the current construction climate.

Building Procurement will be essential reading for senior undergraduate and postgraduate students of construction management and practitioners working in all areas of construction management.
