The design and construction of building projects is a complex and demanding process. It involves a variety of disciplines, including architecture, quantity surveying, engineering and construction management. The common objective is to deliver, on behalf of clients commissioning construction work, buildings of the right quality at the right price and within the right time-scale.This introductory textbook explains the development, application and pivotal role of design cost management from inception through to completion of a project, and considers its context and relevance within current construction procurement arrangements, including design and build. The text discusses the need for improvements in communication between all those involved in the process, and outlines how to achieve better information management, underpinned by information technology, to help overcome the criticisms of the industry for too often delivering projects late, over budget and of poor quality.Building Design Cost Management will benefit all those involved in the design and construction of buildings - in particular students of architecture, quantity surveying and construction management, as it: takes an innovative approach to explain the process of design cost management, using a practical case study to demonstrate its application, supported by a dedicated website (www.bdcm.co.uk)includes on the website selective information from the nationally available Building Cost Information Service, to give students a dynamic modelling tool to examine and carry out design cost management

The Allard Motor Company, founded by Sydney Allard, had a significant impact between the 1930s and the 1950s when its cars achieved notable successes at Le Mans, Monte Carlo and on tracks in the United States and across Europe. In this book, Allard expert Peter Love tells the inside story of this unique British sports-car manufacturer, including its formative years, and the development of the various post-war Allard models from the two-seater K to the four-seater L and M-series and the P saloon, on to the famous J2 and J2X sports racers. The book also includes innovations, such as Sydney Allard’s introduction of dragsters to the United Kingdom. The book shows how Allard successfully combined British-designed body shells and chassis with American engines from manufacturers such as Cadillac and Chrysler, which was in inspiration for the AC Cobra. The Allard marque still has a strong following in the United States as well as Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Allard cars continue to go from strength to strength, both as carefully restored and preserved classic models and as modern versions built by Sydney Allard’s son and grandson.Including a wide range of archive and contemporary photography, this is a concise but comprehensive guide to this fascinating but relatively unknown British sportscar marque and to keeping the cars on the road today.
