Construction Economics Research

CER publishes books on construction of the built environment by firms, industries and projects. Topics of interest in construction economics include the roles of participants and processes, productivity and value for money, environmental performance and sustainability, the delivery process and procurement, the financing, viability and competitiveness of construction firms and projects, technological and institutional development, construction statistics and measurement, international construction, regulation, and government policies affecting the industry. Construction economics is also concerned with the macroeconomic role of the construction industry and its relationship with associated manufacturing, professional services and materials industries. Construction economics is multi-disciplinary and uses multiple models to disentangle and analyse issues associated with the construction industry in particular and construction of the built environment more broadly. Over the last five decades, contributions to construction economics have come from economists, architects, quantity surveyors, sociologists and engineers. Researchers are invited to contact CER about publishing their work.
