The design and construction of building projects is a complex and
demanding process. It involves a variety of disciplines, including
architecture, quantity surveying, engineering and construction
management. The common objective is to deliver, on behalf of
clients commissioning construction work, buildings of the right
quality at the right price and within the right time-scale.
This introductory textbook explains the development, application
and pivotal role of design cost management from inception through
to completion of a project, and considers its context and relevance
within current construction procurement arrangements, including
design and build. The text discusses the need for improvements in
communication between all those involved in the process, and
outlines how to achieve better information management, underpinned
by information technology, to help overcome the criticisms of the
industry for too often delivering projects late, over budget and of
poor quality.
"Building Design Cost Management" will benefit all those
involved in the design and construction of buildings - in
particular students of architecture, quantity surveying and
construction management, as it:
- takes an innovative approach to explain the process of design
cost management, using a practical case study to demonstrate its
application, supported by a dedicated website (www.bdcm.co.uk)
- includes on the website selective information from the
nationally available Building Cost Information Service, to give
students a dynamic modelling tool to examine and carry out design
cost management
