Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Indeed it is a wonderful book for its informative topics. The book consists of 5 parts, starting with the "project context", then "decision and techniques", "managing costs and fees", "cultures as action systems" and a concluding section. Book organized very well to exemplify the project situations. I greatly advise the book for architects/architectural students.
