No Waste
Managing Sustainability in Construction
Uly Ma
Uly Mas NoWaste project has received two awards as part of the 2012 Olympics construction: Most Effective Training (2009) from theSafety, Health and Environment Leadership Team (SHELT) and Special Achievements Award (2011) from National Skills Academy for Construction London 2012 Construction (NSAfC London 2012).
This book provides a practical guide to the actions all construction practitioners could take to make our industry far more efcient and sustainable. My advice is to read it, take whats relevant for you, and importantly, put it into practice on your projects. Greg Chant-Hall, UK Sustainability Manager, Skanska Infrastructure Development Limited Sustainability is a critical issue for the construction industry. In the short term, sustainability is often seen as a must do item. In the longer term, all contractors will be seeing it as a source of competitive advantage. Public sector construction, infrastructure and other large projects such as the Thames Gateway and the Olympics in 2012 are all being driven down this route by pressure from Government. Uly Mas No Waste is an extremely practical guide to managing sustainability in construction that draws on input from all the related stakeholders: the construction industry itself, the clients, designers and architects and the trades. The book explores how the industry can transform itself from business as before to business as it should be, from the micro level of good site practices to setting the right policies that drives a company onwards. The text covers the management of sustainability and the accompanying CD ROM includes a wealth of material such as tool kits, templates and activities that can be shared throughout the organisation and used for team meetings, communication and training.

Project Management
While sustainability and green business have been around a while, this book is truly a call to action to help the project manager, or for that matter, anyone, seize the day and understand sustainability from a project perspective. This book gives real and practical suggestions as to how to ll the sustainability/ project gap within your organization. I particularly liked the relationship between sustainability and professionalism and ethics, a connection that needs to be kept in the forefront.

A major project has many suppliers, contractors and customers; it has procurement and supply, demand planning and scheduling; it often lasts over several years and has longer lead times. Therefore it can be argued that the management of major projects will benet from adopting some customized supply chain management principles, all of which are discussed in this book.

SERIES
PRaCtICaL BUILDING CONseRVatION
English Heritage Since the original series of Practical Building Conservation appeared in 1988, it has become a standard reference for those caring for historic buildings large and small: essential reading for architects, surveyors and building managers, as well as conservators. Ashgate Publishing and English Heritage are now publishing an update to this seminal series. The new series has not only been updated to cover the latest techniques and materials, but has been greatly expanded and copiously illustrated. English Heritage is renowned for its expertise in the conservation of buildings, gardens and archaeological sites, and these books are an accessible distillation of many years of experience. They look in detail at building materials ranging from the ancient to the modern, and are studded throughout with practical advice.
