How is this module different from other modules?
The ‘Land and buildings’ stage of the construction value chain above is distinct from the ‘Managing land & buildings’ module of this website. The ‘Managing land & buildings’ module refers specifically to sustainability and operational performance of an organisation’s estate whereas the ‘land and buildings’ stage of the Construction module refers explicitly to sustainability benefits and site- and building-specific characteristics that should be considered when selecting a site for development.
Similarly, the 'Contracting' stage of this Construction module differs from the ‘Procurement, supply chain & logistics’ module of the website. The 'Contracting' content pages identify opportunities to benefit from incorporating sustainability into contracting services and materials procurement specific to construction and refurbishment activities, for example selection processes for programme managers for construction works. In contrast, the Procurement, supply chain & logistics module relates to a broader spectrum of procurement and supply chain key considerations applicable to all public and private organisations regardless of their industry/area of specialise.
