It involves a variety of disciplines, including architecture, quantity surveying, engineering and construction management. The common objective is to deliver, on behalf of clients commissioning construction work, buildings of the right quality at the right price and within the right time-scale.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis introductory textbook explains the development, application and pivotal role of design cost management from inception through to completion of a project, and considers its context and relevance within current construction procurement arrangements, including design and build. The text discusses the need for improvements in communication between all those involved in the process, and outlines how to achieve better information management, underpinned by information technology, to help overcome the criticisms of the industry for too often delivering projects late, over budget and of poor quality.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eBuilding Design Cost Management\u003c\/i\u003e will benefit all those involved in the design and construction of buildings - in particular students of architecture, quantity surveying and construction management, as it:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003etakes an innovative approach to explain the process of design cost management, using a practical case study to demonstrate its application, supported by a dedicated website (www.bdcm.co.uk)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eincludes on the website selective information from the nationally available Building Cost Information Service, to give students a dynamic modelling tool to examine and carry out design cost management\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDavid Jagger\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eBuilding Design Cost Management\u003c\/i\u003e, published by Wiley.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAndrew Ross\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eBuilding Design Cost Management\u003c\/i\u003e, published by Wiley.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJim Smith\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eBuilding Design Cost Management\u003c\/i\u003e, published by Wiley.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeter Love\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eBuilding Design Cost Management\u003c\/i\u003e, published by Wiley.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e09 September 2002\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiley\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiley-Blackwell\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9780632058051\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePaperback \/ softback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e224\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e17.28\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44379011580044,"sku":"9780632058051","price":71.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780632058051.jpg?v=1780185064","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780632058051","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
