Construction is a complex industry, operating with ever changing legislative needs, new materials and technologies, and constant demands on resources.Professionals are now expected to deliver a broad spectrum of skills and competencies, and this new textbook will help them achieve this. Whilst other textbooks concentrate on individual topics, this brings together the key principles and operating practices of surveying and building engineering. It will enable the practitioner of the future to appreciate the interface between both technical and procedural requirements, identifying barriers and conflicts. The textbook is ideal for final year undergraduates in building surveying, construction management and quantity surveying, and will provide a core resource for the BSc(Hons) degree in building engineering developed in conjunction with the Association of Building Engineers. It will also provide a handy quick reference for practitioners, drawing as it does on a wealth of experience, both academic and professional, from the author team. "This publication brings together a team of highly qualified academics and practising building engineers who have produced a textbook covering the many and varied skills, knowledge and competencies demanded by today's construction industry." ( Building Engineer , October 2008)

There continues to be a blending of civil engineering and building courses and practioner activities, and the emergence of the Association of Building Engineers is evidence of this overlap. However, while there are many texts on individual subjects related to surveying and engineering, there is no book that brings the key subjects together in a holistic manner. This new book brings together a key range of topics, including health and safety, building control, building appraisal and management, fire safety, construction management and sustainability to provide a practical handbook that will appeal both to the advance student and to the practitioner needing a quick, practical overview of each topic. Support material in the form of case study examples and self-assessment exercises for students will be available on an associated website. The book is supported by the Association of Building Engineers.
