Construction Project Organising Discover foundational and cutting-edge ideas in the organisation of construction projects In “Construction Project Organising”, an authoritative team of construction researchers delivers a comprehensive exploration of the many organisational processes and forms that can be found in construction project organising and the many dimensions that can influence these forms. The authors examine these dimensions, detailing their importance to projects and enabling managers to respond to calls by industry professionals for more collaborative forms of organising that focus on value creation. The book investigates the relationship between structure and action, and how patterns of action are created, recreated and maintained by scrutinising the myriad of organisational arrangements between clients, financiers, design teams, contractors, stakeholders and supply chains. It also discusses different concepts in the development and management of construction project organisations, including formation and maintenance issues. “Construction Project Organising” highlights some of the key issues that remain underdeveloped in the modern literature. It also includes: • A thorough description of the rapidly changing socio-economic, technological, digital and data-driven context in which construction projects are designed and delivered • A comprehensive examination of different concepts in the development and management of construction project organisations • A practical investigation of the relationship between structure and action and how action patterns are created, recreated and maintained • Grounded advice to help readers respond to calls by industry for more collaborative forms of project organisation focused on value creation Perfect for researchers, academics and advanced students of construction and similar disciplines, “Construction Project Organising” is also a must-read resource for construction professionals and the consultants who serve them.
