I was co-editor with Rick Best of the three volume Building in Value series of books, published between 1999 and 2003: Pre-design Issues; Design and Construction; and Workplace Strategies and Facilities Management, the last also with Craig Langston.These comprehensively covered the process of creating, delivering, financing and managing building projects, also the use and maintenance of buildings after completion.
In 2011 my Modern Construction Economics: Theory and Application was published by Taylor & Francis.
A full list of publications is here. Many can be downloaded from my ResearchGate page here or my Google Scholar page here.
