Very few buildings finish on time or at the right price, andclients often criticise the fact that the finished building is notwhat they expected. Poor communication between the parties at oneor more stages of the construction process seems to be the cause,and improved briefing practice has long been recognised as oneimportant area where such communication could be improved.
This book examines the briefing process to understand itsstrengths and weaknesses and the problems involved, draws on theexperience of other disciplines and industries, and identifies bestpractice and purpose innovations in the briefing process. It isstrongly industry oriented while drawing on sound research.
