This textbook is aimed at providing students with an insight into the complexities of project management and cost management when working with modern methods of construction (MMC) such as off-site and volumetric construction.

Part one begins with an introduction to the MMC sector and educates readers on what is meant by modern methods of construction. Chapters then cover procurement, supply chain management, quality management, and time management. Part two delves into the detail of cost management by introducing the basics of construction economics, cost variable analysis and the overall impact of introducing MMC into cost management.

Through a series of easy to follow discussions, case studies from real-life industry experience, the authors clearly communicate the complexities of finance, contract, and project management when using modern methods of construction.

Cost Management of Modern Methods of Construction is an essential new textbook for undergraduate and further education students on construction, architecture, built environment and quantity surveying courses, but is also a handy guide for practicing Quantity Surveyors and Project Managers dealing with an increasingly MMC focused industry.

David Roberts has several years-experience working in the modern construction methods sector and in higher education. He worked in industry for over 15 years, eventually owning and running two business that were related to modern methods of construction, a timber frame manufacturing and installation company and a modular company start up. Since working in the higher education sector, he has worked delivering quantity surveying, cost management and project management degrees and higher degrees. Recent areas of research have focused on modern methods of construction, particularly modular production and its financial impact and costs surrounding the industry. Gopalakrishnan Gomathinayagam is course director for the BSc Construction Management, lecturer in Construction at Coventry University, and Online Tutor for the MSc Project Management for Construction at the University of Portsmouth. He completed his Bachelor’s in Civil Engineering, before gaining several years of international site engineering & project management experience. As a passionate learner, he then entered the world of academia to share his knowledge and experience. He specialised throughout his post graduate learning in Building Information Modelling and digital construction. He is a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and his research and teaching focusses on the application of artificial intelligence and BIM to enhance construction performance at various stages of the construction process.
