Construction

No Waste Managing Sustainability in ConstructionUly Ma

Uly Ma’s NoWaste project has received two awards as part of the 2012 Olympics construction: Most Effective Training (2009) from the“Safety, Health and Environment Leadership Team” (SHELT) and Special Achievements Award (2011) from National Skills Academy for Construction – London 2012 Construction (NSAfC– London 2012).

‘This book provides a practical guide to the actions all construction practitioners could take to make our industry far more efficient and sustainable . My advice is to read it, take what’s relevant for you, and importantly, put it into practice on your projects .’ Greg Chant-Hall, UK Sustainability Manager,

Skanska Infrastructure Development Limited

Sustainability is a critical issue for the construction industry. In the short term, sustainability is often seen as a ‘must do’ item. In the longer term, all contractors will be seeing it as a source of competitive advantage. Public sector construction, infrastructure and other large projects such as the Thames Gateway and the Olympics in 2012 are all being driven down this route by pressure from Government. Uly Ma’s No Waste is an extremely practical guide to managing sustainability in construction that draws on input from all the related stakeholders: the construction industry itself, the clients, designers and architects and the trades. The book explores how the industry can transform itself from business as before to business as it should be, from the micro level of good site practices to setting the right policies that drives a company onwards.

The text covers the management of sustainability and the accompanying CD ROM includes a wealth of material such as tool kits, templates and activities that can be shared throughout the organisation and used for team meetings, communication and training.

Risk and Financial Management in Construction Simon A. Burtonshaw-Gunn

‘This book is particularly helpful for readers in that it makes use of a considerable number of diagrams, models and other methods of clarifying complex theories or assisting in explaining risk models…Chapter 6 was of particular interest given the current financial situation of the country…if you are going to deal with risk and/or finance, you really ought to make the time to read this book as part of the subject .’

Edward Simpson, Building Engineer

In today’s climate the need for a closer understanding of the relationship between the two inter-related topics of risk management and finance on construction projects is becoming increasingly crucial to achieving the objectives of the investor, the end-user and the constructor and its supply chain, especially as interest in PFI and PPP arrangements continues to grow around the world. Risk and Financial Management in Construction shows the relationship between the Construction Project Manager’s task of balancing time, cost and quality and the need to satisfy the client’s requirements efficiently, effectively and professionally whilst at the same time contributing to the contractor’s future sustainability.

The book covers Risk Management describing the tools and methods to reduce the occurrence and consequences of risk, and the financial management of construction projects from raising funding, to contract strategy and through to estimating, budgeting and cost control. It includes a chapter covering international project risk, bringing together the issues of risk management, prime contracting, and PFI funding for construction projects undertaken away from the contractors main home market.

Risk and Financial Management in Construction is aimed at those practising in, or studying to enter, the project management profession by providing a strategic and operational knowledge of these subjects, allowing the reader easy access to the key points through a wide selection of models, checklists and easy to find lists in all of the key areas.

Project Management in Construction Dennis LockTHE LEADING CONSTRUCTION SERIES

The one thing that all well-run, profitable construction projects have in common is that they benefit from good project managers. People who have the skills to plan the project, manage it and keep it on track whenever tight timescales, costs, people or other difficulties threaten to derail it.

The good news is that there is no secret art to project management. These are the skills that any manager can learn and use. Project Management in Construction is a practical, easy-to-read guide to defining, organizing, planning and executing a construction project so that it is completed to the satisfaction of the principal stakeholders.

The book is part of the Leading Construction Series co-published by Gower and the CITB-ConstructionSkills. The Leading Construction Series is part of a CITB-ConstructionSkills initiative to develop management skills within the industry. The books in this series are designed to be essentially practical, with a firm grounding in the construction industry.

Building Tomorrow: Innovation in Construction and Engineering Edited by André Manseau, Université de Québec à l’Outaouais, Canada and Rob Shields, University of Alberta, Canada

‘…a “tour de force” – an overview of construction, but including all key features, dimensions and references . This is the best comprehensive text for teaching construction management or building economics as well as for rethinking changes in the built environment and innovation from a broader perspective .’

Will Hughes, University of Reading, UK

By bringing together economic, social and construction/engineering management perspectives, this book offers a unique and comprehensive survey of innovative new approaches to construction and new methodologies. It presents a history of studies in innovation in construction and engineering, and then presents the most recent models of innovation brokering and risk-management, based on complex project-based industries.

Project Management

Managing Sustainable Development Programmes A Learning Approach to ChangeGöran Brulin and Lennart Svensson

‘Göran Brulin´s and Lennart Svensson´s treatise stands out from the pack of management literature due to its unusual focus on long-term, large, government-funded programs for innovation in combination with the authors´ indisputable experiences from such interventions at the Swedish as well as the multi-national and multi-cultural European level . Read it and learn!’

Evert Vedung, Emeritus Professor of Political Science, Uppsala University, Sweden

Managing Sustainable Development Programmes is about understanding the difficulties and complexities of large change programmes and projects in both the private and public sectors. The authors’ research reveals an extraordinary level of failure in these projects, the analysis of which overturns much of our traditional thinking about project delivery and governance. They turn existing theories on project management on their head, focusing instead on sustainable change and development. The message at its heart is ‘don’t blame the project leader’ but rather look for active ownership of projects; joint knowledge management and sharing with external stakeholders that secure long-term effects.

Sustainability in Project Management Gilbert Silvius, Ron Schipper, Julia Planko, Jasper van den Brink and Adri KöhlerADVANCES IN PROJECT MANAGEMENT SERIES

‘While sustainability and green business have been around a while, this book is truly a “call to action” to help the project manager, or for that matter, anyone, seize the day and understand sustainability from a project perspective . This book gives real and practical suggestions as to how to fill the sustainability/project gap within your organization . I particularly liked the relationship between sustainability and “professionalism and ethics”, a connection that needs to be kept in the forefront .’ David Shirley, PMP, Co-Founder, EarthPM, LLC, and co-author of Green Project Management,

Cleland Literature Award Winner of 2011

Sustainability is one of the most important challenges of our time. How can we develop prosperity, without compromising the life of future generations? Companies are integrating ideas of sustainability in their marketing, corporate communications, annual reports and in their actions. It is for that reason that ‘sustainability’ will find its way to project management methodologies and practices. This book explores the concept of sustainability and its application to project management. It aims to provide practical guidance to organizations and individuals that find themselves faced with the questions that surround the integration of sustainability in project management.

Project Management

The Principles of Project Finance Edited by Rod Morrison

This technique is used to fund large capital expenditure projects and is positioned at a key point between the global capital markets and the energy and infrastructure industries. The chapters, written by leading players from around the world, explain and illustrate the ideas behind project finance. The first reviews various themes and issues key to the project finance market; the second section looks at how project finance is used in various sectors of the energy and infrastructure markets; the third then takes an in-depth look at various projects finance markets from around the world; finally, the fourth section presents a series of Top 10 deal cases studies from the pages of Thomson Reuters Project Finance International (PFI), the leading source of global project finance information.

Managing Project Supply Chains Ron BasuADVANCES IN PROJECT MANAGEMENT SERIES

A major project has many suppliers, contractors and customers; it has procurement and supply, demand planning and scheduling; it often lasts over several years and has longer lead times. Therefore it can be argued that the management of major projects will benefit from adopting some customized supply chain management principles, all of which are discussed in this book.

Integrated Cost-Schedule Risk Analysis David Hulett

This companion volume to Practical Schedule Risk Analysis explores the second area where projects so often go horribly wrong – project cost. Many cost estimates are fundamentally flawed in their conception, become written in stone when the project is approved and consequently fall apart during the project implementation and delivery. David Hulett explains the true value of project cost estimating and how to manage the risks associated with project costs and project schedules.

Given the scale of the investment in many modern projects, this is surely a book that is worth its weight in gold.

Practical Schedule Risk Analysis David Hulett

‘This is an extremely important book, which presents a depth of understanding of estimating and scheduling rarely seen in industry . . .It should be required reading for all project managers, schedulers, and risk practitioners; and also for programme managers, sponsors, and all staff involved in contracting for project delivery .’

John Greenwood, PMP on Arraspeople.co.uk

Practical Schedule Risk Analysis, contains a complete treatment of schedule risk analysis from basic to advanced concepts. Benefits of the process, relationship to traditional critical path method scheduling and to project management, the role of the corporate culture in ensuring success and the criticality of collecting risk data are emphasized for the benefit of the practitioner.

Project Management

Bid Writing for Project Managers David Cleden

‘Bid Writing for Project Managers is an excellent introduction to the process of writing a competitive bid or proposal for new business . . .full of good sense delivered in an easy, persuasive and authoritative style . You feel that the author (David Cleden) is a master of the craft about which he writes, rather than a self-professed business guru writing in his ivory tower about how he thinks things ought to be . I would recommend Bid Writing for Project Managers to anyone who has the unenviable responsibility of managing preparation of a bid, and to all project managers who are required to contribute to a proposal, especially if they’re likely to be tasked with delivering the project when the bid is won!’ Mark Pillatt, Senior Project Manager, WTG Technologies Limited

At what stage in the process do commercial projects go wrong? Some of the worst problems (unrealistic objectives, faulty assumptions, and poorly understood constraints) are ‘programmed in’ at conception when the bid is written, long before the project manager is brought on board. If the bid is misconceived, no amount of clever project management is going to recover the situation.

Involving the designated project manager at the bidding stage is becoming the norm in many commercial organizations. Some make the project manager the bid manager so they can direct all aspects of the project’s conception. Getting the bid right is the essence of planning for project success, and is the main theme of this book. However, many project managers are unfamiliar with the pitfalls of competitive bidding and don’t know how to balance a compelling sales message against a realistic delivery plan.

Bid Writing for Project Managers will guide prospective project managers through the bid-writing lifecycle, providing comprehensive guidelines and numerous tips on how to craft a winning bid and how to set the project up with the best possible chance of success.

Advanced Project Management A Structured ApproachFOURTH EDITIONFrederick Harrison and Dennis Lock

When Advanced Project Management first appeared in 1981 it quickly acquired a reputation for excellence on both sides of the Atlantic as a book that successfully bridges the gap between introductory texts on project management and specialist works on professional practice. Its aim is twofold: to provide both a guide for managers, engineers, accountants and others involved in project work and a reference for advanced students of project and construction management.

This fourth edition of the book has been heavily revised, with substantial new material to reflect the changes in project management in the 10 years since the previous edition.
