As a construction project manager, achieving this while maintaining quality is the most valuable package you can offer your clients. Of course, its value derives largely from it's difficulty – if it were easy to complete jobs entirely to plan then it would happen rather more often.
Using a combination of worked examples and case studies, this book examines how projects go over-cost, what lessons can be learned from past examples and what approaches have successfully been employed. Example case studies include:
The Scottish Parliament
Wembley Stadium
Heathrow Terminal 5.
If you're studying Surveying or Construction Management, or starting out as a Construction Cost Manager and need to plan or assess construction projects then this is the book for you.

Author: Mohamed A. El-Reedy | Size: 19 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Unspecified | Publisher: John Wiley & Sons | Year: 2011 | pages: 406 | ISBN: 9780470878163
This book presents techniques for effective and successful project management across all phases of the project, covering all of the management tools and leadership skills for any industrial project. It presents advanced modern tools for use by management and engineers in decision making, and it covers the gap between project management theories of the actual project. This volume is a "one-stop shop" for project and construction management of industrial projects, for engineers, managers, owners, and anyone else working on the project.

This book presents the proceedings of an international symposium which aimed to establish at the highest level the best practice and research in three important scientific and technical themes within the domain of residentaionl builsings across the European Community: quality management and liability building economics construction management. In addition the symposium will discuss the future evolution and development of each theme.

Cost models underlie all the techniques used in construction cost and price forecasting, yet until relatively recently industry has been unfamiliar with their characteristics and properties. An understanding of the various types of cost model is vital to enable effective cost control and the development of future forecasting techniques.This volume brings together more than 20 seminal contributions to building cost modelling and introduces the major landmarks in progress and thinking in this field:* strategies and directions* explorations in cost modelling* cost-product/process modelling* dealing with uncertaintyThe strong techniques bias of this book will appeal to construction professionals involved in estimating, as well as researchers and students of building economics.

This revised and updated edition focuses on an important facet of the quantity surveyor's role - cost management. The scope of the book has been broadened to take account of the widening and more sophisticated cost management and control service that clients now require. It examines the factors influencing building costs and how the pre-contract costs can be estimated, analyzed and controlled, to ensure that buildings can be completed within the agreed budget and timescale, and be of acceptable quality, function effectively and provide value for money. A new chapter on value management has been added, together with an introductory chapter on cost modelling; the chapter on life cycling is extended, while the sections on energy conservation and occupancy costs are expanded. Throughout the text many new case studies, with supporting tables and diagrams, are included in order to enhance the value of this book to the student and the practitioner.

Computer analysis and design of earthquake resistant structures : a handbook
Author: D E Beskos; S A Anagnostopoulos | Size: ? MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Unspecified | Publisher: Computational Mechanics, Inc. | Year: 1997 | pages: 936 | ISBN: 978-1853123740
..".a recommended text for academic institutions or organizations that are doing extensive research in earthquake engineering or designing structures in earthquake-prone regions."
ISO 13628-5:2009 specifies requirements and gives recommendations for the design, material selection, manufacture, design verification, testing, installation and operation of umbilicals and associated ancillary equipment for the petroleum and natural gas industries. Ancillary equipment does not include top side hardware. Topside hardware refers to any hardware that is not permanently attached to the umbilical, above the topside hang-off termination.
ISO 13628-5:2009 applies to umbilicals containing components, such as electrical cables, optical fibres, thermoplastic hoses and metallic tubes, either alone or in combination; and to umbilicals for static or dynamic service, with surface-surface, surface-subsea and subsea-subsea routings .
ISO 13628-5:2009 does not apply to the associated component connectors, unless they affect the performance of the umbilical or that of its ancillary equipment.
ISO 13628-5:2009 applies only to tubes with the following dimensions: wall thickness, t 6 mm, internal diameter, ID 50,8 mm (2 in). Tubular products greater than these dimensions can be regarded as pipe/linepipe and it is expected that they be designed and manufactured according to a recognised pipeline/linepipe standard.
ISO 13628-5:2009 does not apply to a tube or hose rated lower than 7 MPa (1 015 psi), or to electric cable voltage ratings above standard rated voltages = 3,6/6(7,2) kV rms, where U0, U and Um are as defined in IEC 60502-1 and IEC 60502-2.

This standard defines the general requirements for safe access to machines and gives advice about the correct choice of access means when the necessary access to the machine is not possible directly from the ground level or from a floor.
This standard applies to all machinery (stationary and mobile) where fixed means of access are necessary, and to fixed ladders, which are a part of a machine.
It may be applied to fixed ladders to that part of the building where the machine is installed, providing the main function of that part of the building is to provide a means of access to the machine.
This part also applies to ladders which are not permanently fixed to the machine and which may be removed, moved to the side or pivoted (swivel-mounted) for some operations of the machine (e. g. changing tools in a large press).
BS EN ISO 14122 consists of the following parts, under the general title "Safety of machinery - Permanent means of access to machinery" :
• Part 1 : Choice of a fixed means of access between two levels
• Part 2 : Working platforms and walkways
• Part 3 : Stairs, stepladders and guard-rails
• Part 4 : Fixed ladders.
