Important new resource just released

An invaluable resource was made available to the built environment by the author, Dr. Ron Watermeyer, through the sponsors, Engineers Against Poverty (EAP) and the School of Construction Economics and Management, University of the Witwatersrand.

From the forewords: "...The Guide is the first of EAP’s celebratory projects marking their 20th Anniversary in 2018. Infrastructure provides the underpinning platform upon which society depends and yet in many cases the causes of infrastructure failure can be traced back to a lack of good governance, poor procurement and inadequate delivery management practices, all of which are under the control of the client. Successful infrastructure delivery isn’t just down to effective project management and the built environment professionals. The role of the client is crucial in terms of setting the direction and providing effective governance. And whilst there is plenty in the literature to support and guide the project manager, there is very little to assist the intelligent client. This Guide fills that gap comprehensively, and for the first time brings together and provides vital guidance for the Client to positively influence successful project procurement and delivery."

Professor David Root, Head of School of Construction Economics and Management, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, says: "The School commends this information rich Guide to all who have an interest in infrastructure projects i.e. practitioners, professionals, students, lecturers, researchers, decision makers and stakeholders."
