Built Environment Project Management provides a comprehensive, research-informed exploration of project management tailored specifically for the construction and built environment sectors.

Special attention is given to the evolving role of the project manager and the specific knowledge required to navigate construction science, financial planning, and regulatory frameworks.

With a strong focus on applied learning, the book features exercises, case analyses, and research findings that support critical thinking and practical skill-building. Whether you are a student, academic, or early-career professional, this resource equips you with the tools needed to lead projects that are efficient, sustainable, and aligned with industry standards.
