Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
Construction economics needs to respond to the new emphasis on sustainable development, on the medium and long-term consequences of construction, on the whole life-cycle, and on the service rendered by buildings. Its focus now extends from design and construction, to the operation, maintenance, refurbishment and demolition of property.
Drawing on the work of the CIB Task Group on Macroeconomics for Construction, this book discusses mesoeconomic and macroeconomic models and methodologies in construction economics and is suited to graduate students and researchers.
MoreLong description:
Recent decades have seen a major social and economic changes across the developed world and consequent changes in the construction and property industries. The discipline of construction economics needs to respond to this. For instance, the importance of sustainable development has become recognised, as has the need to increasingly master the medium and long-term consequences of construction, not only in the production but also in the management of buildings across their whole life-cycle. And the new focus on the service rendered by buildings, as distinct from the buildings themselves, has prompted a new approach to the construction and property industries. Any economic analysis of these sectors has to take account of all the participants involved in the life-cycle of building structures ? not only in the design and construction, but also in the operation, maintenance, refurbishment and demolition of property.
This innovative new book draws on the work of the Task Group of the CIB (International Council for Research and Innovation) on Macroeconomics for Construction. It pulls together discussions of mesoeconomic and macroeconomic models and methodologies in construction economics and presents an exciting approach to the analysis of the operation and function of the construction and property sector within the economy. Graduate students and researchers will find it an invaluable work.
