This textbook responds to the increasing demand for practical, industry aligned, ethical practices in quantity surveying, construction management and related AEC professions. Professional Ethics for Construction and Surveying addresses how existing ethical standards can be pragmatically applied to both private and contracting practice, with case studies aligned with the ethical requirements of the main professional bodies. After an introduction to ethics, the authors present real-world situations where the minimum legal and contractual requirements necessitate the combination of professional judgement and ethical decision-making. They outline how such situations arise, then address how decisions can and should be made that are in keeping with the moral, contractual and CSR requirements, with cases covering the building lifecycle from procurement to handover. Consequently, the book brings together ethical theory, existing worldwide ethical standards and the requirements of the RICS, the CIOB and the ICES, with the authors’ experiences of examining candidates for entry into the professional bodies.The result is a professionally focused textbook aimed at vocational learners (at both undergraduate and postgraduate taught levels) and practitioners in construction, engineering, architecture and the wider built environment.

The aim of this book is to provide a single source of information to support continuing professional development (CPD) in the built environment sector.The book offers a comprehensive introduction to the concept of CPD and provides robust guidance on the methods and benefits of identifying, planning, monitoring, actioning, and recording CPD activities. It brings together theories, standards, professional and industry requirements, and contemporary arguments around individual personal and professional development. Practical techniques and real-life best practice examples outlined from within and outside of the industry empower the reader to take control of their own built environment-related development, whilst also providing information on how to develop fellow staff members. The contents covered in this book align with the requirements of numerous professional bodies, such as the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE), and the Chartered Institute of Builders (CIOB). The chapters are supported by case studies, templates, practical advice, and guidance. The book is designed to help all current and future built environment professionals manage their own CPD as well as managing the CPD of others. This includes helping undergraduate and postgraduate students complete CPD requirements for modules as part of a wide range of built environment university degree courses and current built environment professionals of all levels and disciplines who wish to enhance their careers through personal and professional development, whether due to professional body requirements or by taking control of identifying and achieving their own educational needs.

Introduction to Built Asset Management Provides a multidisciplinary introduction to building maintenance management and execution, covering a wide range of current technical and management issues The maintenance and upgrading of existing buildings is no longer viewed as separate from the operational phase of the completed building. Maintenance and management are now regarded as fundamental parts of a building’s life cycle, forming a significant percentage of the construction industry’s total output. As higher education programmes in the UK and elsewhere continue to place greater emphasis on the longer-term view of construction projects, students and instructors require a thorough and up-to-date textbook that emphasises the comprehensive nature of building maintenance. Introduction to Built Asset Management is a systematic introduction to both the technology and management issues central to building maintenance and refurbishment. Covering the entire life cycle of built assets, the textbook reviews the role of framework agreements, describes key performance indicators, discusses recent advancements in the procurement of maintenance activities and more. Detailed yet accessible chapters include illustrative examples, seminar questions and self-assessment tasks that enable students to measure their progress as they work through the material. Designed to meet the needs of today’s learners, this much-needed textbook: Addresses a variety of both environmental and commercial concernsEvaluates important concepts of sustainability, sustainable maintenance and carbon resilienceDiscusses the growing retrofit market in the wider context of asset management and maintenanceDescribes information management tools such as building information modelling (BIM) and geographic information systems (GIS)Introduction to Built Asset Management is ideally suited for courses in construction, construction management, building surveying and facilities management with modules in built asset management and maintenance.

Provides clear and comprehensive guidance to embedding total value across construction projects for sustainable societal impact The construction industry is uniquely positioned to shape the social, economic, and environmental fabric of society. As scrutiny of large-scale projects intensifies, traditional measures of success such as cost, time, and quality are no longer sufficient. Increasingly, organisations are judged by the total value they deliver, which includes social, ethical, economic, sustainable, and reputational outcomes. Achieving Total Value in the Built Environment responds directly to this shift, offering a structured and accessible introduction to the evolving concept of total value and its significance in practice. Divided into four parts, the book moves from strategy through to delivery and future challenges—describing how to design and procure for value, contract and measure outcomes, and communicate achievements effectively. Case studies illustrate real-world application, showing how value can be embedded across all project stages, whilst forward-looking chapters examine the role of technology, modern construction methods, and industry expectations yet to come. By weaving together theory, policy, and practice, the authors provide built environment professionals, students, and academics with the tools to understand, apply, and advocate for value-led approaches in their work. Highlighting not just why value matters, but also how it can be practically realised on every project, Achieving Total Value in the Built Environment: Explains the concept of total value and how it extends beyond social valueExamines legislative and policy contexts, including the Public Services (Social Value) Act Provides a structured framework for embedding value at every project stageEmphasises the role of technology and modern methods of construction in value creationOffers insights into leadership and organisational responsibilities in delivering valueBridging theory and practice for both academic and professional audiences, Achieving Total Value in the Built Environment is ideal for undergraduate and postgraduate students in built environment disciplines, particularly those studying construction management, quantity surveying, and project management. It also serves as an essential reference for industry professionals, policy advisors, and leaders seeking to embed value-based approaches within construction projects.
