It is often said that in order to know where we are going, we need to know where we have been. For some years the construction industry has been challenged to deliver better performance in terms of value for money, timelier construction and defect free building. Behind this remodelling of an industry is Government. The interest by Government is not new, and report after report in the post war period has exhorted the industry to perform better.<br><p>This book documents how Government, through influential reports, has sought to shape the performance and attitudes of parties to the construction industry. It provides a critical review of 12 of the most significant, setting these against their political, social and economic background, and offers a ready reference and critique for researchers of construction management, government and economics.

Industry Reviews

"The tabular comparison between the reports is excellent.

A useful text for those wanting an overview of any of the featured reports and not wishing to read through the full version. One for recommendation to students and practitioners undertaking research into the future direction and prospects of the industry."

Richard Davis Msc MRICS ACIArb, Building Engineer

'I must report that the book is exceedingly well written and readable. ...I would class this as an essential primer for any student at Masters level or at research degree level who was looking to produce any significant piece of research on virtually any aspect of our industry.

'An excellent piece of work... should be on the shelf of every serious researcher and teacher in our field.'
