As scrutiny of large-scale projects intensifies, traditional measures of success such as cost, time, and quality are no longer sufficient. Increasingly, organisations are judged by the total value they deliver, which includes social, ethical, economic, sustainable, and reputational outcomes. \u003ci\u003eAchieving Total Value in the Built Environment\u003c\/i\u003e responds directly to this shift, offering a structured and accessible introduction to the evolving concept of total value and its significance in practice. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDivided into four parts, the book moves from strategy through to delivery and future challenges—describing how to design and procure for value, contract and measure outcomes, and communicate achievements effectively. Case studies illustrate real-world application, showing how value can be embedded across all project stages, whilst forward-looking chapters examine the role of technology, modern construction methods, and industry expectations yet to come. By weaving together theory, policy, and practice, the authors provide built environment professionals, students, and academics with the tools to understand, apply, and advocate for value-led approaches in their work.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHighlighting not just why value matters, but also how it can be practically realised on every project, \u003ci\u003eAchieving Total Value in the Built Environment:\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Explains the concept of total value and how it extends beyond social value\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Examines legislative and policy contexts, including the Public Services (Social Value) Act \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Provides a structured framework for embedding value at every project stage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Emphasises the role of technology and modern methods of construction in value creation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Offers insights into leadership and organisational responsibilities in delivering value\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eBridging theory and practice for both academic and professional audiences, \u003ci\u003eAchieving Total Value in the Built Environment\u003c\/i\u003e is ideal for undergraduate and postgraduate students in built environment disciplines, particularly those studying construction management, quantity surveying, and project management.
