Quatrième de couverture

The first edition of the Code of Practice for ProjectManagement for Construction and Development, published in 1992,was groundbreaking in many ways. Now in its fifth edition, preparedby a multi–institute task force coordinated by the CIOB andincluding representatives from RICS, RIBA, ICE, APM and CIC, itcontinues to be the authoritative guide and reference to theprinciples and practice of project management in construction anddevelopment.

Good project management in construction relies on balancing thekey constraints of time, quality and cost in the context ofbuilding functionality and the requirements for sustainabilitywithin the built environment. Thoroughly updated and restructuredto reflect the challenges that the industry faces today, thisedition continues to drive forward the practice of constructionproject management. The principles of strategic planning, detailedprogramming and monitoring, resource allocation and effective riskmanagement, widely used on projects of all sizes and complexity,are all fully covered. The integration of Building InformationModelling at each stage of the project life is a feature of thisedition. In addition, the impact of trends and developments such asthe internationalisation of construction projects and the drive forsustainability are discussed in context.

The Code of Practice will be of particular value toclients, project management professionals and students ofconstruction, as well as to the wider construction and developmentindustries. Much of the information will also be relevant toproject management professionals operating in other commercialspheres.
