'A well-written, logically structured and well referenced text ….[it] represents the first serious attempt to explore communication within the industry’s specific context, and I would commend it as a robust introductory text for students, academics and practitioners with an interest in communication dynamics’. Andrew RJ Dainty, CM& E Volume 22, issue 2.
Communicating the design intent, from initial briefing through the design stage and on to the actual construction is vital to the success of any building project.
