Understanding the CDM 2007 Regulations Owen V. Griffiths Almost 3000 lives have been lost in the UK construction industry over the last twenty-five years, in addition to those seriously injured or made ill. Concern to reduce this rate in the future has driven the introduction for tight control right across the planning and management of construction projects in the UK. The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2007 outline the responsibilities and liabilities for the various professionals and agents involved.

Straightforward and practical, Understanding the CDM 2007 Regulations demonstrates the rationale behind the regs, covers the duties of the five core duty holders (client, CDM coordinator, designer, principal contractor and contractor), explains the importance of the hazard management process on every project and also sets out the consequences of failing to successfully plan, design and manage for safety.

Any client, architect, engineer, CDM coordinator, project manager, construction professional, or student will find this a simple but thorough and dependable guide and should value the numerous practical examples of best practice and guidance on how to use the Approved Code of Practice appropriately. This book shows how to unleash the potential of the regulations and add real value to the industry.

Managing Work-Life Balance in Construction Helen Lingard, ARK Consulting, Australia and Valerie Francis, University of Melbourne, Australia Work in the construction industry is particularly tough. It demands excessively long hours and frequent weekend work, and imposes re-location, job insecurity and other distinctive behavioural patterns. It may be difficult to manage, yet the work-life balance is of strategic importance to the construction industry, critical to attracting and retaining a talented workforce, to organizational effectiveness and employees’ well-being.

This book maps the changes to the workforce demographic profile and changing expectations relating to work and personal life, as well as legal imperatives. It presents work-life balance theory with extensive empirical data, along with practical advice.

Performance Improvement in Construction Management Edited by Brian Atkin, University of Reading, UK and Jan Borgbrant, Lulea University of Technology, Sweden Novel research in construction management is often distant from existing practice. This collection of reviews serves to bridge this gap under three major themes: innovation, organisation and human behaviour, and methods and tools.

It outlines a series of successful collaborative projects between industry and the academic and research communities. Many of the authors have worked in technology transfer, as change agents, resolving industrially-relevant problems by using scientifically-based research. The book reveals the source of ideas, data and results to provide a useful resource for researchers, academics and graduate students, and a challenging guide for senior industry managers.

Relational Contracting for Construction Excellence

Collaborative Construction Information Management

Principles, Practices and Case Studies

Edited by Geoffrey Qiping Shen, Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Peter Brandon, Salford University, UK and Andrew Baldwin, Loughborough University, UK

Albert P.C. Chan, Daniel W.M. Chan and John F.Y. Yeung, all at Hong Kong Polytechnic University

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.

Improved efficiency and effectiveness in the construction industry often provides huge potential savings. Various forms of relationship contracting such as lean productivity, effective supply chain management and partnering are good examples of this.

Relational Contracting for Construction Excellence presents the principles of relationship contracting, practicalities and a series of short case studies. Principles begins with the fundamentals then covers development in major countries, a comparison of the different methods, their benefits, difficulties, critical success factors and key performance indicators. Practice includes the relationship contracting approach and process in general, and significant factors which make workshops successful, at whatever stage of the process. Finally nine real-life case studies from the UK, Australia, and Hong Kong are provided.

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.

NEW

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.

Alexander Styhre, Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden This new evidence-based book shows how knowledge management can make sense in the construction industry, viewed as being engaged in the material transformation of ’nature into buildings’. It takes findings from three very different businesses and demonstrates the situational and context-bound nature of knowledge in the construction industry, showing ’knowledge’ to be a remarkably heterogeneous concept.

Disasters are not natural. Natural events such as earthquakes, floods, and hurricanes, become disasters because of the fragile relations that exist between the natural, human and built environments. Sadly, major disasters will always occur in towns and cities in the developing world where resources are limited, people are vulnerable and needs are particularly great. The prevailing state of emergency challenges thoughtful and sustainable planning and construction. Yet it is possible, in theory and in practice, to construct them in a way that provides a sustainable environment and improved conditions for current and future generations.

Rebuilding After Disasters emphasizes the role of the built environment in the re-establishment of lives and sustainable livelihoods after disasters. Expert contributors explain the principal challenges facing professionals and practitioners in the building industry.

This book will be of great value to decision makers, students and researchers in the fields of architecture, social sciences, engineering, planning, geography, and disaster recovery.

Managing Work-Life Balance in Construction Helen Lingard, ARK Consulting, Australia and Valerie Francis, University of Melbourne, Australia Work in the construction industry is particularly tough. It demands excessively long hours and frequent weekend work, and imposes re-location, job insecurity and other distinctive behavioural patterns. It may be difficult to manage, yet the work-life balance is of strategic importance to the construction industry, critical to attracting and retaining a talented workforce, to organizational effectiveness and employees’ well-being.

This book maps the changes to the workforce demographic profile and changing expectations relating to work and personal life, as well as legal imperatives. It presents work-life balance theory with extensive empirical data, along with practical advice.

Performance Improvement in Construction Management Edited by Brian Atkin, University of Reading, UK and Jan Borgbrant, Lulea University of Technology, Sweden Novel research in construction management is often distant from existing practice. This collection of reviews serves to bridge this gap under three major themes: innovation, organisation and human behaviour, and methods and tools.

It outlines a series of successful collaborative projects between industry and the academic and research communities. Many of the authors have worked in technology transfer, as change agents, resolving industrially-relevant problems by using scientifically-based research. The book reveals the source of ideas, data and results to provide a useful resource for researchers, academics and graduate students, and a challenging guide for senior industry managers.

Relational Contracting for Construction Excellence

Collaborative Construction Information Management

Principles, Practices and Case Studies

Edited by Geoffrey Qiping Shen, Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Peter Brandon, Salford University, UK and Andrew Baldwin, Loughborough University, UK

Albert P.C. Chan, Daniel W.M. Chan and John F.Y. Yeung, all at Hong Kong Polytechnic University

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.

Improved efficiency and effectiveness in the construction industry often provides huge potential savings. Various forms of relationship contracting such as lean productivity, effective supply chain management and partnering are good examples of this.

Relational Contracting for Construction Excellence presents the principles of relationship contracting, practicalities and a series of short case studies. Principles begins with the fundamentals then covers development in major countries, a comparison of the different methods, their benefits, difficulties, critical success factors and key performance indicators. Practice includes the relationship contracting approach and process in general, and significant factors which make workshops successful, at whatever stage of the process. Finally nine real-life case studies from the UK, Australia, and Hong Kong are provided.

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.

NEW

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.

Managing Work-Life Balance in Construction Helen Lingard, ARK Consulting, Australia and Valerie Francis, University of Melbourne, Australia Work in the construction industry is particularly tough. It demands excessively long hours and frequent weekend work, and imposes re-location, job insecurity and other distinctive behavioural patterns. It may be difficult to manage, yet the work-life balance is of strategic importance to the construction industry, critical to attracting and retaining a talented workforce, to organizational effectiveness and employees’ well-being.

This book maps the changes to the workforce demographic profile and changing expectations relating to work and personal life, as well as legal imperatives. It presents work-life balance theory with extensive empirical data, along with practical advice.

Performance Improvement in Construction Management Edited by Brian Atkin, University of Reading, UK and Jan Borgbrant, Lulea University of Technology, Sweden Novel research in construction management is often distant from existing practice. This collection of reviews serves to bridge this gap under three major themes: innovation, organisation and human behaviour, and methods and tools.

It outlines a series of successful collaborative projects between industry and the academic and research communities. Many of the authors have worked in technology transfer, as change agents, resolving industrially-relevant problems by using scientifically-based research. The book reveals the source of ideas, data and results to provide a useful resource for researchers, academics and graduate students, and a challenging guide for senior industry managers.

Relational Contracting for Construction Excellence

Collaborative Construction Information Management

Principles, Practices and Case Studies

Edited by Geoffrey Qiping Shen, Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Peter Brandon, Salford University, UK and Andrew Baldwin, Loughborough University, UK

Albert P.C. Chan, Daniel W.M. Chan and John F.Y. Yeung, all at Hong Kong Polytechnic University

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.

Improved efficiency and effectiveness in the construction industry often provides huge potential savings. Various forms of relationship contracting such as lean productivity, effective supply chain management and partnering are good examples of this.

Relational Contracting for Construction Excellence presents the principles of relationship contracting, practicalities and a series of short case studies. Principles begins with the fundamentals then covers development in major countries, a comparison of the different methods, their benefits, difficulties, critical success factors and key performance indicators. Practice includes the relationship contracting approach and process in general, and significant factors which make workshops successful, at whatever stage of the process. Finally nine real-life case studies from the UK, Australia, and Hong Kong are provided.

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.

NEW

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.

Alexander Styhre, Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden This new evidence-based book shows how knowledge management can make sense in the construction industry, viewed as being engaged in the material transformation of ’nature into buildings’. It takes findings from three very different businesses and demonstrates the situational and context-bound nature of knowledge in the construction industry, showing ’knowledge’ to be a remarkably heterogeneous concept.
