The Non-Architect's Guide to Major Capital Projects

(Authored in 2005.) In his preface Waite explains that [N]on-architects are often placed in positions of leadership or responsibility in a capital project process. Administrators managers and academics while no doubt experts within their own specialties often have little or no training to prepare them for a role in a major capital project. The purpose of this book is to provide the non-architect with a broad framework of understanding in the steps phases and sequence of planning designing and delivering a capital project. In addition to appealing to non-architects this book should also appeal to architects who (a) may wish to understand what those non-architects are learning from this book and (b) may wish to purchase for distribution to clients or potential clients as part of the information process.
