This book addresses the important issues involved in forming effective and profitable teams for construction projects - both within and between client, design and construction firms.
It is divided into two main sections. The first contains theories related to particular aspects of project teams, with key points illustrating their practical application. The second contains real and simulated building and civil engineering case studies, each concluding with corrective lessons to aid successful construction project team building.
