Description

Design management as a recognised role in the built environmentindustry is relatively new, initially arising from the need forbetter co-ordination and delivery of design information from designteams to main contractors - particularly important as procurementroutes involving contractor led design have become much morecommonplace. The advent of design packages driven by specialistsub-contractors has also increased the need for co-ordination andmanagement of the design process. With the growing complexity ofconstruction projects, effective design management is increasinglycentral to project success. BIM, as it gains acceptance across theindustry will undoubtedly have a huge impact on project deliveryprocess and the role of the Design Manager. The CIOB Design Manager’s Handbook covers subjectssuch as design process and management tools, the role of the DesignManager, value management and innovation, procurement routes andimplications, people dynamics, and factors that will affect thedevelopment of the Design Manager’s role in the future,including BIM. It will ensure Design Managers understand theprocesses, tools and skills that are required to be successful inthe role, and will assist them in delivering real value to complexconstruction projects. Written for both the Design Manager practitioner and students onconstruction related degree courses, anyone interested inconstruction based design management will also find the bookuseful.
