The recent Latham and Egan reports in the UK have spurred further intitiatives from the demand side of the industry to speed the pace of reform. This text examines those new initiatives, clearly explaining and comparing them with each other and with similar initiatives from other countries such as the USA or Singapore, and painting a vivid picture of the future of the construction industry under the e 606 $aConstruction industry$xManagement 606 $aConstruction industry$xQuality control 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aConstruction industry$xManagement. 615 0$aConstruction industry$xQuality control. 676 $a624/.0068 700 $aCain$b Clive Thomas.$0946365 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910450457203321 996 $aBuilding down barriers$92138182 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01691nam 2200457I 450 001 9910712050103321 005 20190403150231.0 035 $a(CKB)5470000002489601 035 $a(OCoLC)1091359462 035 $a(EXLCZ)995470000002489601 100 $a20190403j201903 ua 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aDevelopment and characterization of hot-pressed matrices for engineered ceramic matrix composites (E-CMCs) /$fS.V.
