Contracting in building construction

The specialist book "Contracting in Structural Engineering" by Jörg Lamster offers a comprehensive analysis of the potential for change in contracting within the context of buildings. It highlights how building components and systems can be created and managed according to their use. A central element of the book is the newly introduced cyclical system model, which describes the relationship between cyclical performance deliveries and harmonized building structures. These modular building systems create ideal conditions for effective, flexible, and cost-efficient construction, management, and deconstruction of buildings. With 172 pages, the book provides valuable insights into architecture and the associated challenges and opportunities in structural engineering.
