SIG members can now order the Management
of Building Projects Manual at a discounted
price of only $80 (US). The DPC SIG was one of the first
and largest funders for development of the Manual
This new publication is being issued in British Columbia,
Canada by the Architectural Institute of BC, the Association
of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of BC, the
Consulting Engineers of BC and the BC Construction Association.
It is a consensus document from a full cross-section of
the BC building industry, and supported by owners, project
managers, facility managers, quantity surveyors, specification
writers and educators. The Manual is compiled from the
experience and expertise of all of these, and from reviews
by the supporting associations. It is also substantially
applicable in places other than British Columbia.
This
Manual will help all parts of the building industry. It
explains how owners, architects, engineers, builders and
specialists interact to make building projects successful.
It distinguishes the characteristics of each stage of
a project, from concept to completion, as well as the
alternative contracting arrangements by which design and
construction are delivered.
It can be adapted to each specific project.
