Produktbeschreibung

This is a critical and descriptive analysis of the UK construction industry based on up-to-date statistics. The emphasis is on the industry as a whole, including its associated professions, rather than on individual firms or projects. Dr Hillebrandt examines the structure and resources of the industry, the demands made on it and its responses. A concise and comprehensive picture of the industry is given which will enable readers to understand what it does, how it works and how it is likely to develop.
