This textbook is aimed at providing students with an insight into the complexities of project management and cost management when working with modern methods of construction (MMC) such as off-site and volumetric construction. Part one begins with an introduction to the MMC sector and educates readers on what is meant by modern methods of construction. Chapters then cover procurement, supply chain management, quality management, and time management. Part two delves into the detail of cost management by introducing the basics of construction economics, cost variable analysis and the overall impact of introducing MMC into cost management. Through a series of easy to follow discussions, case studies from real-life industry experience, the authors clearly communicate the complexities of finance, contract, and project management when using modern methods of construction. Cost Management of Modern Methods of Construction is an essential new textbook for undergraduate and further education students on construction, architecture, built environment and quantity surveying courses, but is also a handy guide for practicing Quantity Surveyors and Project Managers dealing with an increasingly MMC focused industry.
