Rezension

"I can commend this book to both industry professionals, to academics and to students in the field of construction management. I would recommend that potential readers not follow my example but rather follow the advice of the King in Alice in Wonderland and begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop." (Australasian Journal of Construction Economics and Building, 1 April 2010)
 
"Practical, clear and accessible. First book to address logistics in construction. Written by the industry-recognized logistics experts. Tackles issues of key concern: efficient use of labor; sustainability; waste and supply chain management." (Medicaster, 29 October 2010)
 
"This guide emphasises the benefits of good logistics in construction and includes many detailed case studies. "I believe constructors ignore this book at their peril," says Peter Rogers CBE, chairman of the Green Building Council." (Construction Manager, September 2010)
