Concurrent Engineering in Construction Projects (Hardcover)

Concurrent Engineering (CE) is a systematic approach to the integrated and concurrent design of products and related processes, including aspects as diverse as manufacture and support. It is only now being carefully applied to the construction sector and offers considerable potential for increasing efficiency and effectiveness. It enables developers to consider all elements of a building or structure's life cycle from the conception stage right through to disposal, and to include issues of quality, cost, schedule, and user requirements.
Drawing together papers that reflect various research efforts on the implementation of CE in construction projects, "Concurrent Engineering in Construction" presents construction professionals and academics with the key issues and technologies important for CE's adoption, starting with fundamental concepts and then going on to the role of organizational enablers and advanced information and communication technologies, then providing conclusions and suggestions of future directions.
