Sommario/riassunto: | With its mixture of established theory, best practice and innovation Whole-life costing: risk and risk responses offers a thorough grounding in both the theory and practical application of WLCC. It will help to improve accuracy of the assessments of long-term effectiveness of projects - now an essential tool for those performing risk analysis in construction investment. |
