Description
Book SynopsisThe construction industry is not a homogeneous one; it is characterised by its fragmented, complex and temporary project arrangements. Communicating the design intent -- from initial briefing through to the actual building on site -- is vital to the success of any construction project, yet a constant challenge for all concerned.
Trade Review'A well-written, logically structured and well referenced text ….[it] represents the first serious attempt to explore communication within the industry’s specific context, and I would commend it as a robust introductory text for students, academics and practitioners with an interest in communication dynamics’.
