Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
This is a textbook analyzing the economics of the construction industry and its relation to the UK economy as a whole. It includes an analysis of the economics of the individual company and the theory of the firm, the economics of supply and demand, the nature of construction markets and the economics of supplying these markets. An analysis of the investment decisions which determine demand then introduces the principles of cost-benefit analysis and financial control. The final chapter examines the factors which influence productivity within both the individual firm and the sector as a whole.
