Description
Ferry and Brandon's Cost Planning of Buildings is a comprehensive introduction to the practice and procedures of cost planning in the procurement of buildings. This updated 9th edition has been thoroughly revised to reflect recent changes in the industry, particularly in procurement methods. The text provides a thorough grounding in contemporary issues such as procurement innovation, whole life cycle costing, and modelling techniques, while retaining its core structure of the three-phase cost planning process. It covers the principles of elemental cost planning from both pre- and post-contract perspectives, with an emphasis on effective briefing and client/stakeholder engagement. This edition addresses key initiatives such as The Soft Landings Framework, designed to make buildings perform better and more sustainably.
