Design-Build provides everything you need to know about how to embark on a design-build project within a studio or professional practice setting. Design-build models have increased across academic programs worldwide, allowing students to address the real-world challenges of working in the community using a participatory design process. In practice, they offer a full partnership between the designer and builder to elevate design concepts and reduce project costs. Written by an experienced practitioner and educator, this book offers contextual background on the development of the design-build model in pedagogy and practice, guidance from inception to conclusion for classroom and field usage, discussions on the shift to community-engaged design and inspirational examples from international case studies. Illustrated in full color throughout, it looks at structuring a design-build firm, best-practice, efficiency and the limitations of design-build as a practice model. This is the fundamental guidebook for those interested in developing or working for a design-build professional practice, academics leading design-build programs and students interested in social and environmental justice, education, and practice through a design-build model.

The first edition of the Code of Practice for Project Management for Construction and Development, published in 1992, was groundbreaking in many ways. Now in its fifth edition, prepared by a multi-institute task force coordinated by the CIOB and including representatives from RICS, RIBA, ICE, APM and CIC, it continues to be the authoritative guide and reference to the principles and practice of project management in construction and development. Good project management in construction relies on balancing the key constraints of time, quality and cost in the context of building functionality and the requirements for sustainability within the built environment. Thoroughly updated and restructured to reflect the challenges that the industry faces today, this edition continues to drive forward the practice of construction project management. The principles of strategic planning, detailed programming and monitoring, resource allocation and effective risk management, widely used on projects of all sizes and complexity, are all fully covered. The integration of Building Information Modelling at each stage of the project life is a feature of this edition. In addition, the impact of trends and developments such as the internationalisation of construction projects and the drive for sustainability are discussed in context. Code of Practice will be of particular value to clients, project management professionals and students of construction, as well as to the wider construction and development industries. Much of the information will also be relevant to project management professionals operating in other commercial spheres.

The three books by the Aqua Group, Tenders and Contracts, Pre-Contract Practice and Contract Administration, have long been established as standard works on good practice for the building team as well as students. The first in the series, Tenders and Contracts for Building, examines the wide range of tendering procedures and contractual arrangements now available to clients in addition to traditional competitive tendering. It discusses the different circumstances dictating the choice of both tendering procedures and contractual arrangements and discusses their advantages and disadvantages. The new edition has been revised to take into account the CDM Regulations and contractual changes introduced by the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act. The chapters on management and construction management contracts and on design and build contracts have been considerably revised, and for the first time there is a chapter on partnering. The authors are a group of architects and quantity surveyors with experience in private practice and local government. From the Chartered Quantity Surveyor: These publications by The Aqua Group are absolutely essential reading for the young architect, civil engineer and QS.
