Continuous Cost Improvement in Construction: Theory and Practice aims
to provide students and practitioners with an all-inclusive
understanding of strategies for adopting continuous improvement in
construction cost management. This book addresses continuous improvement
practices from the perspective of cost management and applies case study
examples to question the readers' perspective of continuous cost
improvement strategies in the project lifecycle. Continuous cost
improvement practices in managing the cost of minor, major, and mega
projects are all connected with decision-making tools for devising
strategies for choosing the approaches for mitigating the effect of cost
overruns in construction projects. Continuous cost improvement should be
taught as part of modern methods and processes of construction in
further and higher education institutions. This book will be key reading
for all advanced undergraduate and postgraduate courses in Construction
Project Management, Building and Quantity Surveying. Professionals in
all aspects of the AEC industry will also gain greatly from engaging
with the key concepts of continuous cost improvement throughout this
book.
