About this book

This book examines the real causes of conflict in the broad field of construction and looks beyond the symptoms which can be so misleading. From the readable narrative the reader can learn how to identify a likely conflict, and how to avoid it or reduce its impact on the project and the financial resources of the participants. The author readily accepts that some conflicts are unavoidable and expertly guides the reader through the proper management and resolution of conflict. The book will appeal to students and practitioners in quantity surveying, construction management and engineering.
