Benchmarking in Construction

Benchmarking is one of the key management techniques the construction industry now needs to adopt if it is going to meet the new targets of increasing efficiency. Preferred contractors are increasingly being awarded contracts only if they can demonstrate the lean construction practices which benchmarking leads to.

This accessible book will help the construction professional set up benchmarking systems. It explains the theoretical background and offers clear, practical guidance with extensive reference to case studies from 'best practice' firms.
