Project management is of critical importance in construction, yet its execution poses major challenges. In order to keep a project on track, decisions often have to be made before all the necessary information is available.

Drawing on a wide range of research, Managing Construction Projects proposes new ways of thinking about projectmanagement in construction, exploring the skills requiredto manage uncertainty and offering techniques for thinkingabout the challenges involved. The second edition takes theinformation processing perspective introduced in the firstedition and develops it further. In particular, this approachdeepens the reader's understanding of the dynamics in theconstruction project process - from the value propositioninherent in the project mission, to the functioning asset thatgenerates value for its owners and users.

Managing Construction Projects is a unique and indispensible contribution to the available literature on construction project management. It will be of particular benefi t to advanced students of construction and construction project management, as well as contractors and quantity surveyors.

Reviews of the First edition:

"A refreshing and unique study of information management and its impact upon international construction project management.... The book is well presented and written, logical and succinct and is flexible enough to allow readers to either read from start to finish or to dip into selected chapters. This book deserves to be an established text for any construction or civil engineering under- and/or postgraduate course."
