Ferry and Brandon's Cost Planning of Buildings

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This new edition of the classic quantity surveyingtextbook retains its basic structure but has been thoroughlyupdated to reflect recent changes in the industry, especially inprocurement.

Although over the last 20 years a number of new procurementmethods have evolved and become adopted, the recession has seenmany clients revert to established traditional methods ofprocurement so the fundamentals of cost planning still apply - andshould not be ignored.

The first edition of this leading textbook was published in 1964and it continues to provide a comprehensive introduction to thepractice and procedures of cost planning in the procurement ofbuildings.

This 9 th edition has been thoroughly updated toreflect changes that have occurred in the UK construction industryin the past six years. Whilst retaining its core structure of thethree-phase cost planning process originally developed by Ferry andBrandon, the text provides a thorough grounding in contemporaryissues including procurement innovation, whole life cycle costingand modelling techniques.

Designed to support the core cost planning studies covered bystudents reading for degrees in quantity surveying and constructionmanagement, it provides a platform for understanding thefundamental importance of effective cost planning practice.

The principals of elemental cost planning are covered from bothpre- and post- contract perspectives; the role of effectivebriefing and client/stakeholder engagement as best practice is alsoreinforced in this text.

This new edition:

Addresses The Soft Landings Framework (a new govt. initiative,especially for schools) to make buildings perform radically betterand much more sustainably. Puts focus on actual performance in useat brief stage, during design and construction, and especiallybefore and after handover.
Covers recent changes in procurement, especially under the NECand PFI
Provides more on PPP and long-term maintenanceissues
Offers an improved companion website with tutorial worksheetsfor lecturers
and Interactive spreadsheets for students, e.g. developmentappraisal models; lifecycle costing models
