Summary

This is a highly practical, easy to read guide, focusing strongly on the day-to-day needs of the practitioner. It uses the everyday business language of construction firms to explain how to set up and run performance measurement, self-assessment and benchmarking at strategic and project level. The book is aimed at all those at the sharp end in every sector of the construction industry, including clients and end users, and is as relevant to small and medium enterprises as to major firms.
