This book provides definitive, comprehensive, step-
by-step, best-practice processes for managing any
type of project from start to finish.
This is the book that everyone involved in projects
has been waiting for, but until now has not been
available. It is not academic. It is not of a general
nature. This is the first practical, project
management book that provides working standards
and practices in the recognised project
management knowledge areas. It will be of
significant guidance and assistance to all those
engaged in projects and their management.
Today’s enlightened leaders recognise that projects
are the basis by which organisations achieve their
strategic targets. They are also acutely aware that
the management processes used on project work
are different to that used on other types of
organisational work. As most people are involved,
in some way or other in projects, this Handbook will
be invaluable in providing ‘a way to do it’.
Project managements importance to corporations
and public bodies is becoming more and more
critical. Formalised project management
methodologies are essential for all organisations
that are either project driven or where projects are
a significant aspect of their business and what
they do.
This Handbook is structured into four distinct
parts:
■ Part 1: Introduction - the concept of the ‘living
book’
■ Part 2: Projects - three integrated structures for
managing projects
■ Part 3: Project Management procedures - how to
use them
■ Part 4: Route Maps - from inception to
completion
This book in many ways breaks new ground and is
unique. As a Handbook it is the ideal ready-
reference for any user involved in projects and
project management. As a ‘living book’ the users
have the opportunity to relay their experiences and
comments directly to the author through
registering in the ‘Sign up for the alumni’ section
and influence and enhance future editions of this
publication.

examines the development and diffusion of
innovation to address adversarial relationships, the
fragmented processes and lack of customer focus
which still characterise much of the industry.
It explains systematically how construction must
respond to the raft of new management processes
expounded throughout the past decade in a bid to
achieve a more appropriate approach for business
innovation in construction. Through a number of

Many innovations in the UK construction industry
are in response to government initiatives based on
the Egan Report. This publication provides a
background and profile of innovations in the UK
construction industry through an analysis of the
innovations presented within the Network of
Construction Creativity Clubs (NCCC).
The analysis of collected data shows that
significant efforts are being made in the
construction industry, academia, professional
organisations, and through government initiatives
to stimulate and achieve improvements.
Innovations are taking place in all construction
related areas, especially in environmental impact
management, contracting and partnering,
procurement, and application of IT.

and M Murray, AMEC
2001 Paperbound 240pp
297 x 210 mm 0 7277 3039 8 £50.00
This book presents innovative thinking on supply
chain management. Springing from the work of the
Integrated Collaborative Design (ICD) research
project, a combined industry and academic
initiative, it presents a set of key principles and
practices that provide a new approach to design
management – the design chain. It describes how
design can be understood, managed and optimised
to add value for clients. The practices developed
through ICD and described in the book provide a
timely response to the need to manage design
complexity to help collaborating organizations
deliver projects that meet client needs.
Benefits of an ICD approach include:
■ creating business level frameworks for
organizations to collaborate for mutual benefit
on projects
■ aiding understanding of design information flows
■ helping organisations align their competencies
and business cultures
■ promoting value adding design solutions
■ Integrated processes across organisations.

This book is aimed at those who want to apply, or
improve the application of, partnering to their
projects in the construction and heavy engineering
industries. It focuses on procurement aspects and
is based on the premise that unless the commercial
and contractual conditions align objectives, there is
little stimulus to change the culture and integrate
processes and teams to achieve the outstanding
results that can be attained through partnering.
This invaluable book presents detailed information
about partnering and procurement process, which
will lead to better delivery of construction projects.
More specifically Procurement routes for partnering

+44 (0)1892 832299
looks at:
■ a practical model for applying partnering in
your projects
■ the principles and tools – as well as a generic
process – for developing any procurement strategy
■ a review of traditional contractual
arrangements; when to use them and their
suitability for partnering
■ the concepts, process and mechanisms for
developing a balanced incentive plan
■ specific considerations when using incentives
to improve time, quality, performance in use,
service and/or health and safety
■ the ten key implementation points when using
target and reimbursable contracts
■ when to use alliances – both project and
strategic, and their key implementation points
from a procurement perspective.
Written in accessible language and using
accelerated learning techniques to promote
comprehension and retention, Procurement Routes
for Partnering translates cutting edge thinking and
academic rigour into practical application. It is a
‘must-read’ for any construction professional
involved in setting up a partnering relationship.

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.

0 7277 3016 9
£35.00
Every organisation has to deal with constraints. The
Theory of Constraints argues that there are typically
only a few constraints and that they can be
determined through the application of a robust and
logical thinking process. The expectation is that having
found the constraint, developed the solution and
implemented the plan, the results would simply follow.
This book examines the fact that on many occasions
the expected results did not appear. The identification
of a crucial barrier to change entitled ‘paradigm lock’ is
the key finding of the research and the methods by
which it might be overcome. The book covers the
research process used to determine this phenomenon
and the steps taken to validate the findings before
gaining confidence in what was discovered.

The book considers value incentive programmes in
depth, highlighting their application and benefits to
client and contractor. It provides an insight into
contractor-led value engineering and its effective
use in different procurement forms. To highlight the
alignment of value within the different procurement
forms the project value chain has been developed
from strategic value to operational value.
It reviews value incentives that exist in the USA and
Australia. It also examines the procedures that are
undertaken in their application within the project
environment. As no formalized UK value incentive
clauses exist, this book also considers the criteria that
should be met, and how they should be implemented.
The impact of a value incentive clause on the various
parties involved in a project is also investigated.

Based on the author’s research over a three year
period in a number of different companies
throughout Europe, this book discusses the key
issues within organisations today. These
companies, drawn from project-based industries
such as construction and high-tech product
development, understand the pressure to make
profit both now and in the future. They have a
wealth of data at their fingertips; yet remain
unable to make sense of this mass of information.
Using the rigour and logic of the Theory of
Constraints first to analyse these difficulties, and
then to propose a way forward, the book should be
first port of call for all working or preparing to work
in such environments.

Risk analysis and management for projects (RAMP)
is a process that has been developed by a joint
working party of the Institution of Civil Engineers
and The Actuarial Profession for the purpose of
evaluating and controlling risk in major projects.
RAMP demonstrates how to identify, analyse and
mitigate risks and how to place financial values on
them. This practical handbook details a rigorous
approach to risk management that can be applied to
all types and stages of investments. It provides a
method to enable a structured and consistent
analysis of the financial implications of risk within
(and between) projects to be carried out effectively.
It can be applied either at a strategic level or as a
detailed analytical and control process. The RAMP
process aims to achieve as much certainty as
possible about a long-term and uncertain future.
Risk analysis and management for projects will be
of use to everyone who is concerned with the
financial, commercial, legal or engineering aspects
of major projects and ongoing activities of any kind.

high-street retailing clients; Arcadia Group, Boots,
Borders (UK), Halifax plc, Nationwide, Rubicon Retail
Ltd, Pizza Express; and their supply chains.
The book comprises two complementary parts. The
first, the Good Practice Framework, is the ‘What To
Do’ for effective refurbishment involving the closer
integration of ‘supply’ and ‘value’ chains in
construction. The second, the ‘Why Do It This Way’,
comprises research evidence from a wide range of
construction and business management sources;
including process maps, management models and
outcomes from fieldwork with the retail clients and
their supply chains; that provided the basis for the
framework.

“It is rare to sit and read a book at
a single sitting but this is what I
found myself doing, being intrigued
by the developing arguments and
well crafted points. The authors
state that the future for value
engineering rests with the
development of more rigorous
approaches to thinking and
decision taking, I believe that they
have argued this point succinctly
and convincingly.”
Professor John Kelly
School of the Built and Natural Environment,
Glasgow Caledonian University
Achieving Results: How to Create Value is not
another book of tools and techniques for value
engineering. Many such books already exist.
Unfortunately, few of them explain the theories
underlying the practice that they preach. Readers
are expected to enter into a blind faith that accepts
the ‘magic’ of value engineering without question or
even evidence or understanding.
This is a book that puts the value of science back
into value engineering. The authors focus on the
underlying theories that link leadership, value
engineering and technology management. It argues
that the practice of value engineering has hardly
moved forward in the last 30 years because the
underlying theories upon which practice is based
have rarely been critically examined or explained
and that the subjective models upon which practice
is based have been promoted at the expense of
objective models – this is what the authors seek to
overthrow.
The book provides a new foundation for value
engineering, and will help its many advocates to see
it as a method that enables the improvement of
artificial constructs, from artefacts to organizations.
It will help you to become a leader and a value
technologist who thinks not just of product or project
value but also of how this value will bring
improvement to your customers and shareholders.

regulations.
These new guides are intended to support graduate engineers and young chartered practitioners in the
acquisition and effective management of fundamental knowledge relating to engineering management.
The whole ethos of these new guides is to promote integrated or ‘joined-up thinking’ in a management
approach to construction management. The texts in the series are designed to provide a sound basis for
further reading or CPD as appropriate.

The ability to price work correctly is a key skill for
engineers, but many find themselves ill prepared for
this important undertaking. Current practice on most
contracts dictates that the engineer deals with
engineering matters and the quantity surveyor
covers the commercial aspects. As a result, engineers
have become increasingly uneasy at setting rates,
evaluating claims and pricing work generally.
This book has been written with a practical
approach that will allow engineers to become
competent estimators. It will appeal to civil and
structural engineers, surveyors, contractors,
consulting practices, further and higher education
establishments and students, and local authorities.

Dynamic Mentoring for
Engineers
H Macdonald Steels, Institution of Civil Engineers
2001 Paperbound 160pp

This book offers practical guidance on how mentors
can quickly achieve the required competencies in
their trainees and looks specifically at the detail of
how to make mentoring work effectively in practice.
In an increasingly commercial and fast-moving
business, the only competitive advantage a
company has is the skills, abilities and commitment
of its workforce. To develop these various talents to
their maximum potential, as quickly as possible,
requires the industry to train much more efficiently
and effectively than it has ever done in the past.
Mentors must be carefully chosen and better trained
to undertake this vital role. In the past, very few ever
received any guidance, let alone training – this book
will allow that to change.

volume looks specifically at those whose careers
began before 1830. Beginning with what little is
known of the lives of engineers such as John Trew
who practised in the Tudor period, the background,
training and achievements of engineers over the
following 250 years are described by specialist
authors, many of whom have spent a lifetime
researching the history of civil engineering. This
book will be of particular interest to historians of
all disciplines and of great value to engineers
involved in restoration work for whom an
authoritative source of information on the
engineers who designed public works over 300
years will be available for the first time.
