Zusammenfassung

The preparatory processes for building and civil engineering projects take considerable time and investment, yet the involvement of the main contractor, subcontractors and suppliers is usually limited or non-existent even though there is substantial evidence demonstrating the advantage of involving contractors and suppliers at an early stage.

Early Contractor Involvement in Building Procurement Zusammenfassung

Early Contractor Involvement in Building Procurement: Contracts, Partnering and Project Management David Mosey

Can contractors and specialists add value to a project by their early involvement in design, pricing, risk management and programming? How can this be structured and what role do contracts have to play? What is the impact on procurement and project management? Commentators from Banwell to Egan have recommended earlier contractor appointments, and this has also been linked to successful project partnering. How are the two related? Early Contractor Involvement in Building Procurement considers the case for a two stage procurement approach based on a system of agreed project processes during the preconstruction phase. It examines the ways in which a contract can describe and support this model throughout its procurement, partnering and project management, and is illustrated with case studies taken from projects and programmes across the construction and engineering industry. The roles of the various parties involved, the obstacles they encounter and the benefits they can achieve are examined in detail. There is practical guidance on how to improve speed, economy, sustainability, change control, dispute avoidance, and client satisfaction. This book bridges the gap between contract law, partnering and project management and will be essential reading for middle and senior management at construction contractors, consultants and clients in both the public and private sectors.

Early Contractor Involvement in Building Procurement Bewertungen

The conclusion was, again, an excellent drawing together of the issues that the book explores in some considerable detail in the intervening chapters ... the book is clearly a thorough and well researched contractual treatise with a strongly academic style. (The Journal of The Academy of Experts, 1 March 2011) Moseys book is a treasure. It mulls over why things go belly up and over ways to prevent disputes. ( building.co.uk , September 2009) This book bridges the gap between contract law, partnering and project management. It will be essential reading for middle and senior management and will be construction contractors, consultants and clients in both public and private sectors. ( Government Opportunities , May 2009)
