An excellent value text for undergraduates and postgraduates on built environment courses... It is refreshing to read such a comprehensively up-dated book in this field which covers a wide spectrum of related areas with clear and across the board examples throughout. (Building Engineer, April 2009) Bringing the book once again favourably up to date, risk and hazard management, management of the supply chain, waste and H&S management have been introduced... With its appealing practical delivery of appropriate topics and specific subject content this new edition should continue to be attractive to students and graduates. (McCaffer, April 2009)
