The application of mixed methods research design in the built environment discipline by students and academics has continued to grow exponentially. However, with no dedicated mixed methods research design textbook in this domain, students have struggled to conduct research projects involving a mixed methods research design.
Mixed Methods Research Design for the Built Environment provides a useful research methodology resource for students, academics, and researchers across various disciplines in the built environment such as construction management and project management, property and real estate management, quantity surveying and commercial management, building surveying, building services engineering, civil and geodetic engineering, and other built environment disciplines. The book can also be useful for students and academics outside the built environment knowledge domain.
This textbook offers practical and step-by-step guidance on how to apply mixed methods research design, including an elucidation of the various philosophical and methodological underpinnings upon which the choice of a particular variant of the mixed methods research design is predicated. It provides practical case examples and guidance on the processes involved to design and undertake mixed methods research, the advantages and disadvantages of using mixed methods research, and how multiple sources of qualitative and quantitative data can be combined and applied to carry out research projects.

Buildability in Practice: Shaping a Sustainable and Equitable Built Environment explores the often-overlooked concept of buildability in construction, how easily and efficiently a design can be built. It offers practical strategies and real-world examples to improve project outcomes, reduce waste, and promote sustainability. Readers will learn: How rationalisation encourages critical evaluation of design choices to reduce complexity and cost. How simplicity theory advocates for straightforward, user-friendly construction solutions. How standardisation promotes uniformity in design elements, enhancing speed, quality, and compatibility across projects. How system theory integrates all these elements, helping practitioners view buildability as a holistic approach that aligns design, planning, and construction processes. The authors show that a limited understanding of buildability principles, coupled with the failure to integrate them into the project procurement process, significantly contributes to the suboptimal performance observed in construction projects. They then address this issue by providing clear explanations of buildability principles, practical integration strategies in construction project delivery, and testimonies that demonstrate successful implementation.This book serves as a comprehensive educational resource for stakeholders, including clients, contractors, and consultants, promoting a shared understanding and fostering collaboration from the early stages of project planning. Buildability is a universal challenge in construction, affecting project efficiency, sustainability, and cost worldwide. With increasing global demand for eco-friendly and efficient building practices, this book offers practical and theoretical insights relevant to professionals, academics, and policymakers across the UK, Europe, North America, and beyond.

This book addresses the urgent need for sustainable practices in property development, particularly within the South African context. It provides an innovative perspective on the transition from traditional Linear Economy Business Models to Circular Economy Business Models through the lens of Servitized Business Model Innovation. It aims to bridge the gap between academic theory and practical implementation, offering insights, strategies, and frameworks for property developers, policymakers, and other stakeholders to effectively adopt and implement circular and servitized approaches in the built environment.The book is structured to address three interconnected objectives: examining the drivers and challenges associated with transitioning to circular economy practices, analyzing the critical role of servitized business models in enhancing circular performance, and offering a framework to guide and manage these transitions effectively. It systematically examines the socio-economic, regulatory, and operational complexities faced by property developers and offers actionable solutions tailored to the unique challenges of developing countries. The content is informed by an in-depth qualitative study involving key stakeholders from public and private property development sectors across various management levels, ensuring that the findings are both robust and practical, with takeaways for an international audience.This book addresses the critical need for tools and strategies to enable developers to overcome barriers like financial constraints, policy gaps, and resistance to change, and to achieve sustainable property development goals. It is key reading for all built environment stakeholders, those with an interest in circular economy, and innovative business models.

This book provides a framework for governing policy implementation by various stakeholders during the delivery of infrastructure projects. This framework relies on the tenets of the Viable Systems Model (VSM), a systems cybernetic model that enjoys a high level of acceptance in organizational analysis. The book presents a step-by-step guide for the multi-level governance of implementation during project delivery. Although the book focuses on the context of local content development policy and construction projects (infrastructure), it is presented in a manner that allows it to be adapted to other policies and sectors. The book includes a step-by-step methodology for assessing policy implementation in project or policy delivery systems. In addition, it shares insights into the probable challenges faced by the actors within the delivery system in achieving optimal implementation performance. Critical success factors are also highlighted, and illustrative diagrams of the framework are provided to facilitate understanding. The book is logically structured and presented in a straightforward manner. Also, the transposition of the VSM from a conventional organizational context to a multi-organizational context will appeal to readers with a background in systems thinking, monitoring or evaluation.
