[pdf] Value Management of Construction Projects

Value management evaluates alternative construction materials and systems with a view to saving money without impacting on building performance or the construction programme. It has become a well established tool in the construction industry, having been endorsed in a range of government sponsored reports.

This book presents an integrated value philosophy, methodology and tool kit for improving project delivery for clients, based on best practice. It combines the theory and practice of value management and is written in such a way that the theory, methodology, workshop styles, tools and techniques can be read independently if the reader wishes.

Construction Management is a wide ranging discipline, but ultimately it is a demanding, hands-on discipline concerned with the management of people, plant and materials, all mobilised to complete a building project safely, on time, on budget and to the client’s satisfaction.

Proper cost accounting and financial management are essential elements of any successful construction job, and therefore make up essential skills for construction project managers and project engineers.
