Construction Contracts
Managing Interdisciplinary Projects
Questions and Answers
A Primer for Architecture, Engineering and Construction
David Chappell, David Chappell Consultancy Ltd, Wakefield, UK
What they said about the first edition: ’A fascinating concept, full of knowledgeable gems put in the most frank of styles... A book to sample when the time is right and to come back to when another time is right, maybe again and again.’ – David A Simmonds, Building Engineer magazine
Stephen Emmitt, Loughborough University, UK
Construction, architecture and engineering projects are complex undertakings, involving a temporary grouping of people and companies, with different agendas and experience, coming together to achieve a project goal. This book investigates the dynamics of the relationships between individuals involved in architecture, engineering and construction projects. Focusing on how people interact, communicate and work together, it examines how best to manage the interdisciplinary relationships that form and reform during the project life cycle.
• Is there a difference between inspecting and supervising? • What does ‘time-barred’ mean? Construction law can be a minefield. Professionals need answers which are pithy and straightforward, as well as legally rigorous. The two hundred questions in the book are real questions, picked from the thousands of telephone enquiries David Chappell has received as a Specialist Adviser to the Royal Institute of British Architects. Although the enquiries were originally from architects, the answers to most of them are of interest to project managers, contractors, QSs, employers and others involved in construction. The material is considerably updated from the first edition – weeded, extended and almost doubled in coverage. The questions range in content from extensions of time, liquidated damages and loss and/or expense to issues of warranties, bonds, novation, practical completion, defects, valuation, certificates and payment, architects’ instructions, adjudication and fees. Brief footnotes and a table of cases will be retained for those who may wish to investigate further. Selected Contents: 1. Tendering 2. Pre-contract Issues 3. Possession of the Site 4. General Contractual Matters 5. Warranties 6. Bonds and Novation 7. Contractorís Programme 8. Contract Administration 9. Architects 10. Fees 11. Design 12. Architectís Instructions 13. Inspection 14. Defects During Progress 15. Defects After Practical Completion 16. Valuation and Payment 17. Certificate 18. Sub-contracts 19. Extensions of Time 20. Liquidated Damages 21. Loss and/or Expense 22. Sectional Completion 23. Practical Completion and Partial Possession 24. Termination 25. Disputes
The book covers vital areas of project management, and will be valuable for students at both undergraduate and graduate level. Practitioners will also find it a useful insight into the social aspect of project management, with implications and applications that apply to all projects in the built environment sector.

Economics for the Modern Built Environment Edited by Les Ruddock, University of Salford, UK Construction economics needs to respond to the new emphasis on sustainable development, on the medium and long-term consequences of construction, on the whole life-cycle, and on the service rendered by buildings. Its focus now extends from design and construction, to the operation, maintenance, refurbishment and demolition of property. Drawing on the work of the CIB Task Group on Macroeconomics for Construction, this book discusses mesoeconomic and macroeconomic models and methodologies in construction economics and is suited to graduate students and researchers. 2008: 234 x 156: 296pp: 68 line drawings: 29 tables Hb: 978-0-415-45424-7: £99.99 Pb: 978-0-415-45425-4: £36.99 eBook: 978-0-203-93857-7 For more information, visit: www.routledge.com/9780415454254

Modern Construction Economics Theory and Application Edited by Gerard de Valence Traditional building economics has primarily been concerned with issues around project appraisal and cost management techniques. On the other hand, modern construction economics has a wider focus with stronger links to mainstream economics, reflecting an increased interest in a range of theoretical issues in construction economics, both at the macro and micro level. In Modern Construction Economics: Theory and Application, a variety of approaches are used to present a coherent vision of synthesis between industry economics and project economics. Including contributions from academics in the UK, Sweden, Hong Kong, and Australia, this is a truly global review of a core issue for the construction industry worldwide. The result is a unique book that will push toward the development of a comprehensive theoretical framework of construction economics. This is a must-read for all serious students of construction economics, and all practitioners looking for a deeper understanding of their industry. Selected Contents: 1. Theory and Construction Economics 2. Developing Construction Economics as Industry Economics 3. Collusion and Corruption in the Construction Sector 4.

2nd Edition
Construction Economics A New Approach Danny Myers, Universities of the West of England and Bath, UK
Students studying construction management and related subjects need to have a broad understanding of the major aspects of controlling the building processes. This is a group of three textbooks written to systematically cover the field. They can be taken singly or together.
Construction Economics provides students with the principles and concepts of economic theory and relates this to the construction industry, and the new approach views economics as central to government initiatives in sustainable construction.
This updated second edition has been expanded to cover the latest debates on the private finance initiative, value management, off-site manufacture, the credit crunch, the 2008 OFT investigation into contractors colluding, and sustainable construction. Selected Contents: Part A: Effective Use of Resources Part B: Protection and Enhancement of the Environment Part C: Economic Growth that Meets the Needs of Everyone
Students studying construction management and related subjects need to have a broad understanding of the major aspects of controlling the building processes.
Focusing on construction sites and operations which are challenging to run, Chris March explores issues such as the setting up of the site, the deciding of the methodology of construction, and the sequence of work and resourcing. As changing and increasing regulations affect the way sites are managed, he also considers the issues and methods of successful administering, safety, quality and environment. Finally, the contractor’s responsibility to the environment, including relationships with third parties, selection of materials, waste management and sustainability is discussed. Chris March has a wealth of practical experience in the construction industry, as well as considerable experience of teaching, which he uses to support the theory and principles set out in the book.

Finance and Control for Construction Chris March, formerly Universities of Salford and Coventry, UK
Drawing on a wealth of practical experience, both in the construction industry and teaching students, Chris March presents this study of construction management and the major aspects of controlling the building process. Covering the stages from the client’s initiation, to the final handover of the building, March includes evidence from those currently working in the industry, and covers the key industry requirements: knowing that in today’s market place, those entering the field must be aware of how projects are financed and controlled, and to financially run and maintain a building. This book is written with a down-to-earth approach, with evidence supporting theories and principles, and is a book that students of construction management and related subjects need if they wish to succeed in the field.

Transient Airflow in Building Drainage Systems
4th Edition
Building Performance Simulation for Design and Operation
John Swaffield, Heriot Watt University, UK
Construction Materials Their Nature and Behaviour
Giving you the first comprehensive presentation of the ground breaking research undertaken at Heriot Watt University, with Research Council and industrial funding, this book brings a new perspective to the design of building drainage and vent systems. It provides the building services community with clear and verifiable design methods that will be robust enough to meet challenges such as climate change and water conservation; population migration to the mega cities of the developing world, and the consequent pressures of user concentration; the rise of the prestige building and the introduction of new appliances and control strategies. These all combine to make traditional codified design guidance insufficient. Many assumptions in existing codes defining the entrained airflows within building drainage vent systems cannot be theoretically supported, so designers concerned with these systems need analysis and simulation capabilities which are at least as reliable as those enjoyed by other building services practitioners.
Edited by Peter Domone, University College London, UK and John Illston, Retired Engineer, UK
Aimed at both professional and academic users, this book serves both as a design aid and as a core text for specialist masters courses in public health and building services engineering.

’Doing the Right Thing?’ Martin Loosemore, University of New South Wales, Australia and Florence Phua, University of Salford, UK
The role that communities have to play in the evolution and implementation of an effective strategy is often overlooked, despite the fact that it is becoming increasingly important and complex. This book addresses how consulting and contracting firms in the construction and engineering industries integrate corporate social responsibility into business strategy and how this translates into better business performance. In the context of the current global drive towards sustainability, it seeks to untangle the rhetoric and reality of CSR, providing a guide to effective and meaningful engagement with the community in the boardroom. Ideas, concepts, theories and debates in the previously separate areas of corporate performance; corporate social responsibility; corporate strategy and; corporate governance are integrated for the first time in this book, promoting a more liberal and wider debate about CSR. The result is an important and timely examination of a new challenge which faces every firm in the engineering and construction industry, from the very largest transnational corporations, to consultants and to the many thousands of small and medium sized enterprises that employ the vast majority of people in the industry. Contemporary research is integrated with practice throughout this book in a clear and easy-to-follow style. The extensive use of real-life examples ensures that the content is of value to managers who have to deal with the reality of the industry on a day-to-day basis. The case studies of some of the world’s leading firms provide rich qualitative data to support the arguments and are an excellent source of learning and teaching material to the subject of CSR for students.

Collaborative Construction Information Management Edited by Geoffrey Shen, Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Peter Brandon, Salford University, UK and Andrew Baldwin, Loughborough University, UK
Most construction projects are large and costly. Collaborative working involves two or more stakeholders sharing their efforts and resources to complete the project more effectively and efficiently.
Collaborative, integrative and multi-disciplinary teams can tackle the complex issues involved in creating a viable built environment. This tends to be looked at from three interrelated perspectives: the technological, organizational, and social; and of these the key issue is to improve productivity and enable innovation through the empowerment and motivation of people. This book provides insights for researchers and practitioners in the building and construction industry as well as graduate students, written by an international group of leading scholars and professionals into the potential use, development and limitations of current collaborative technologies and practices. Material is grouped into the themes of advanced technologies for collaborative working, virtual prototyping in design and construction, building information modelling, managing the collaborative processes, and human issues in collaborative working. 2009: 234 x 156: 344pp 100 line drawings: 11 tables: 82 halftones Hb: 978-0-415-48422-0: £75.00 eBook: 978-0-203-88363-1
