"In this long-awaited book, Glenn Ballard and Peter Morris present a well-researched and comprehensive argument in favor of Target Value Delivery. The book is easy to read. It is a must-read for Lean scholars and practitioners, and anyone interested in value delivery and cost modeling of capital projects and the sustainable development of the built environment." Iris Tommelein Professor at the University of California Berkeley, USA, and co-founder of the Lean Construction Institute "This well-researched book brings together the rigor of research with the experience of professionals and companies that have been pioneers in the implementation of TVD. Rich in inspiring principles and concepts derived from the Lean vision, it is an incomparable resource for any practitioner who wants to apply TVD and should inspire many to adopt the methods and practices that have been proven to lead projects to a better result." Luis F. Alarcón Founding member of the International Group for Lean Construction, and Professor at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile "Tackling the front end of the project delivery process is requisite to achieving business/project objectives both short and long term. This book provides the exact framework and methods for doing so and should be required reading for all those that manage the design and build process.
