Best Practice Tendering for Design and Build Projects

Alan Griffith and Andrew King, Sheffield Hallam University and Andrew Knight, Nottingham Trent University

This book fills an important gap in construction literature and makes a positive contribution to improving buildability and hence efficiency. I am sure it will benefit its readers and the construction industry generally.
Sir Frank Gibb Buildability demonstrates that projects that go well and leave satisfied clients and contractors are based on thorough planning and design. However, there are many factors to consider to achieve a successful outcome. These include the implementation of guidance on fair practice, better management and improved techniques suggested by the Latham and Egan reports, and the application of improved health and safety measures. Also required is a knowledge of practical construction and the incorporation of this knowledge into the project details from the outset. This excellent book lists simple proposals, put forward by a variety of experienced people, which, if implemented correctly, will help reduce construction problems and cost, and make work more straightforward and safe. Buildability is a practical guide based on extensive experience of construction projects, and it will be invaluable for all those seeking to improve the efficiency of their practice.

March 2004 Hardbound 374 pp 243 x 170 mm 0 7277 3258 7 49.50 This book provides definitive, comprehensive, stepby-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. Todays 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 readyreference for any user involved in projects and project management.

Design and Build is one procurement approach used extensively, both in the UK and worldwide; being recognised for its capability to deliver real value to both public and private sector clients. This book is based on the findings of an Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) funded project. It reports on the factual experiences of those construction practitioners involved in Design and Build procurement and presents practical tools for the application of best practice tendering. This book provides a comprehensive guide for consultants and practitioners involved in the procurement process.

2001 Hardbound 168pp 243 x 170 mm 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.

Its breadth and depth commend it to everybody who needs to refresh, or extend their knowledge of the subject . . . It covers the full range of techniques from the hard basics of network analysis to the softer but vital human aspects.

The Framework Document highlights the requirements at specific (value opportunity) points in the project life cycle. The Research Report presents the findings of the three-year research programme that forms the basis for the Framework document. A CD comprising both the Framework document and the Research Report is also available.

Enterprise Focused Management

Changing the face of project management
Ted M Hutchin 2001 Hardbound 192pp 243x170 mm 0 7277 2979 9 45.00 Based on the authors 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.

on the psychology of judgement and its application in professional decision making, as well as his extensive experience in the field of engineering planning, design and construction, the author has arrived at fresh insights that will benefit all engineers.

Value Management Incentive Programme

Nigel A Standing

2001 Paperbound 152pp 297 x 210 mm 0 7277 2989 6 45.00 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.

This report is one of the few to look at value management (VM) from the clients procurement perspective. Based on extensive empirical research over a period of one year in the UK, it examines why clients use VM, how they use it, and what benefits they achieve by applying it. This publication acts as a third-party facilitator helping both clients and providers improve VM. The text provides a comprehensive summary for those wishing to improve the organisational value creation for all stakeholders and explains how to improve VM in a structured way to enhance competitive advantage.

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.

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.

The first volume in the ECI Pricing System series, this book deals specifically with the fabrication and erection of pipework, offering a structured approach to the contracting of piping work that maximises clarity for contractors and owners alike. The ECI Pricing System will reduce bidding costs and remove some of the ambiguities in the compensation basis and the risk allocation between parties. Additionally, the factor system it is based on lends itself to automation of the bidding effort and to the electronic pricing of engineering deliverables. The innovative aspect of the system is the fixing of the relative value for welding and erecting different piping material types, sizes, thicknesses and complexities together with the clear separation of direct and indirect costs.

CONSTRUCTION PROCESS AND PROJECT MANAGEMENT

CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT SERIES

This series of management guides addresses the management issues facing the civil engineer in the 21st Century. Since the publication of the original Engineering Management series, SARTOR97 has radically changed the BEng and MEng curricula and the practitioner has experienced new codes and 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.

This essential book offer presents guidance, explanations and case studies to help the reader comprehend the strengths and weaknesses and realistic meanings and outcomes of the stages in the development of an effective procurement strategy. Bringing together the theory and practice that relates to procurement, the book offers guidance on how the process should be undertaken. It begins by outlining the role of procurement in the construction industry, including the problems it faces and some of the steps that can be taken to overcome these problems. It then goes on to consider contractor selection and raises issues relating to the allocation of risk in contracts and factors to consider when awarding a contract. A brief summary of the relevant legal aspects is also provided. The book also examines contract strategy, major organisational arrangements and payment types and provides a summary of the key features of the most common standard forms of contract. The relationship between benchmarking, key performance indicators and incentives is explained and a framework for developing incentive mechanisms is provided. 0 7277 2732 X 27.50

Principles of Estimating
Trevor M Holroyd, Consulting Engineer

2000 Hardbound 152pp 243 x 170 mm 0 7277 2763 X 30.00 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 210 x 138 mm 0 7277 3003 7 25.00 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.

HISTORY

Biographical Dictionary of Civil Engineers in Great Britain and Ireland Volume 1: 1500-1830
Edited by Mike Chrimes, Sir Alec Skempton, R W Rennison, R C Cox, Ted Ruddock and P Cross-Rudkin 2002 Hardbound 243 x 156 mm 784pp 0 7277 2939 X 95.00 Intended as a valuable biographical reference work on the lives, works and careers of individuals engaged in the practice of civil engineering, this 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.

This brand new book, written by a Past President of the Institution of Civil Engineers (1977-78) identifies the nature of the recent rapid changes in the role of the Civil Engineer and the consequences of adaptation. From a function of translating narrowly defined requirements of the Client, through sciencebased technology, the successful Civil Engineer of today and yet more so tomorrow contributes to a broad range of functions between identification of and realisation of projects which satisfy, or more than satisfy, the Clients business case.

History has not been kind to the memory of William Mackenzie. While the names of Telford and Stephenson continue to be well known today, that of William Mackenzie, one of the most important figures in the engineering world during the first half of the nineteenth century, has slipped from prominence.
