Building Procurement Systems is an indispensable guide to the various contractual arrangements for the procurement of buildings. The third edition incorporates developments which have occurred since 1990 and takes into account recommendations referring to the initial stages of building procurement contained in the Latham Report. The focus of the book is on fast-track options to the 'traditional' arrangement. The key to such options is the overlap of the design and construction stages as a means of reducing project time. A case-study of the time and cost effects of carrying out a commercial project using both systems demonstrates the strengths of each, thus confirming the benefits of the fast-track approach. In addition to being an essential guide for clients of the construction industry and their advisors, Building Procurement Systems is also an invaluable resource for diploma and degree courses in procurement aspects of surveying, construction management, building, civil engineering and architecture.
