Summary:

"Cost efficient building requires particular care and attention throughout the entire planning and construction process - starting with office organisation, through the design phase and coordination of the technical planning and on to the final realisation of the scheme. The economy of all phases is an essential element of construction today, not to be confused with cheap building." "In this book, projects are presented which are normally overshadowed by those more spectacular and extravagant constructions which populate technical literature. In spite of tight budgets they are clearly produced down to the last detail and demonstrate various strategies and methods by which cost efficient planning and construction are possible." "The variety of alternatives ranges from the application of standard products through to innovate and individual design solutions."--Jacket
