More copies of this ISBNThe Design Manager's Handbookby John Eynon
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Design management as a recognised role in the built environment industry is relatively new, initially arising from the need for better co-ordination and delivery of design information from design teams to main contractors - particularly important as procurement routes involving contractor led design have become much more commonplace. The advent of design packages driven by specialist sub-contractors has also increased the need for co-ordination and management of the design process. With the growing complexity of construction projects, effective design management is increasingly central to project success. BIM, as it gains acceptance across the industry will undoubtedly have a huge impact on project delivery process and the role of the Design Manager.
The CIOB Design Manager’s Handbook covers subjects such as design process and management tools, the role of the Design Manager, value management and innovation, procurement routes and implications, people dynamics, and factors that will affect the development of the Design Manager’s role in the future, including BIM. It will ensure Design Managers understand the processes, tools and skills that are required to be successful in the role, and will assist them in delivering real value to complex construction projects. Written for both the Design Manager practitioner and students on construction related degree courses, anyone interested in construction based design management will also find the book useful. Synopsis:Written for design managers, this book discusses the role, processes, tools, and soft skills that are required to be successful in design management. The book will embody a design management Code of Practice developed by the CIOB Faculty of Architecture and Surveying, and will enable design managers to provide tangible benefits for contractors and customers by ensuring the smooth flow of design data as projects from the initial stages, through design to provide manufacturing and construction information, to facilitating successful construction even as the projects grow to become more complex.
