Managing building services contractors can prove to be a minefield. The most successful jobs will always be those where building site managers have first built teams focused on tackling issues that might cause adversarial attitudes later on and jeopardize the project. The author shows how a simple common management approach can improve site managers' competency in overseeing building services contractos, sub traders and specialists, and maximize the effectiveness of time spent on building services. By providing an account of building services from the site management rather than the corporate viewpoint, this book breaks new ground.
