On time and in budget.


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.

In the last decade, following the Latham and Egan Reports, there have been some significant changes in the role of the construction cost manager. Here, Keith Potts examines the key issues and best practice in the cost management of construction projects under traditional contracts and new methodologies. All stages within the life cycle of a project are considered from pre-contract to tendering and post contract. Worked examples, legal and project case studies are used to illustrate the practical application of the theory where appropriate. Seminar questions are included at the end of each chapter including extensive references in order to further develop understanding of the subject.Reference is made to major projects such as the Millennium Dome, Emirates stadium and BAA's Heathrow Terminal five. Aimed at students on surveying and construction management programmes, this book will also be useful to practitioners and includes extensive bibliographies identifying key sources of information including the UK government's Constructing Excellence programme and National Audit Office reports.

Construction Cost Management: Learning from Case Studies, 2nd Edition

Author: Keith Potts, Nii Ankrah | Size: 2 MB | Format: PDF | Quality: Original preprint | Publisher: Routledge | Year: 2014 | Pages: 363 | ISBN: 0415629136, 9780415629133

In this updated and expanded second edition, Keith Potts and Nii Ankrah examine key issues in construction cost management across the building and civil engineering sectors, both in the UK and overseas. Best practice from pre-contract to post-contract phases of the project life-cycle are illustrated using major projects such as Heathrow Terminal 5, Crossrail and the London 2012 Olympics as case studies.

More worked examples, legal cases, case studies and current research have been introduced to cover every aspect of the cost manager’s role. Whole-life costing, value management, and risk management are also addressed, and self-test questions at the end of each chapter support independent learning.

This comprehensive book is essential reading for students on surveying and construction management programmes, as well as built environment practitioners with cost or project management responsibilities.
