Concurrent Engineering (CE) is a systematic approach to the
integrated and concurrent design of products and related
processes, including aspects as diverse as manufacture and
support. It is only now being carefully applied to the
construction sector and offers considerable potential for
increasing efficiency and effectiveness. It enables developers to
consider all elements of a building or structure's life cycle
from the conception stage right through to disposal, and to
include issues of quality, cost, schedule, and user requirements.

Engineering in Construction presents construction
professionals and academics with the key issues and technologies
important for CE's adoption, starting with fundamental
concepts and then going on to the role of organisational enablers
and advanced information and communication technologies, then
providing conclusions and suggestions of future directions.
