Construction Economics
Routledge (Verlag)
978-1-032-26261-1 (ISBN)
Embracing the whole process of the construction life cycle, the new edition discusses the economic impact of the Covid pandemic on the industry and the broader implications of the promise to build back better. It also includes new coverage of the opportunities offered by technology, the establishment of higher standards to achieve greater energy efficiency and wellbeing, the adoption of the principles of a circular economy, the retrofit of existing buildings and the recycling of materials. New sections also highlight the methodology of the subject to identify the boundaries of construction economics and clarify what to expect and what can be achieved.
As with previous editions, it retains a tried and tested format including:
a clear and user-friendly style
use of colour for emphasis
regular summaries of key points
a glossary of key terms
extensive use of tables, figures and data
readings from Construction Management and Economics
tutorial questions to review each section
research guidance
reviews of useful websites.
This invaluable textbook is essential reading across a wide range of disciplines. It provides the economic context to the relevance of sustainability and debates about climate change, highlighting the vital contributions that surveyors, contractors, project managers, engineers, architects and developers can offer to take it forward.
Danny Myers is an experienced author who worked for many years as a researcher and lecturer at the University of Bath and UWE in Bristol. He is currently an associate tutor at the University College of Estate Management.
