Briefing: Towards exploring profession-specific BIM challenges in the UK (2014)
Journal Article
Navendren, D., Manu, P., Mahamadu, A., Shelbourn, M., & Wildin, K. (2014). Briefing: Towards exploring profession-specific BIM challenges in the UK. Proceedings of the ICE - Management, Procurement and Law, 167(4), 163-166. https://doi.org/10.1680/mpal.14.00004

Building information modelling (BIM) has been proposed as an enabler for greater efficiency and effectiveness within the UK construction industry, providing digital management of construction data throughout the project life cycle. The potential bene... Read More about Briefing: Towards exploring profession-specific BIM challenges in the UK.

An investigation into the accident causal influence of construction project features [Abstract of PhD thesis] (2013)
Journal Article
Manu, P. (2013). An investigation into the accident causal influence of construction project features [Abstract of PhD thesis]. Journal of International Real Estate and Construction Studies, 2(1-2),

The United Kingdom (UK) construction industry is one of the worst industries in the UK in terms of health and safety (H&S) performance. Numerous injuries, deaths, dangerous occurrences and work related illnesses are reported annually in the industry,...

Mitigating the health and safety influence of subcontracting in construction: The approach of main contractors (2013)
Journal Article
Manu, P., Ankrah, N., Proverbs, D., & Suresh, S. (2013). Mitigating the health and safety influence of subcontracting in construction: The approach of main contractors. International Journal of Project Management, 31(7), 1017-1026. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijproman.2012.11.011

Subcontracting is noted for its adverse health and safety (H&S) influence in construction. Using interviews with five of the top 20 UK contractors and one medium-sized contractor, this study explored how main contractors manage the H&S influence of s...

Investigating the multi-causal and complex nature of the accident causal influence of construction project features (2012)
Journal Article
Proverbs, D. G., Manu, P. A., Manu, P., Ankrah, N. A., Proverbs, D., & Suresh, S. (2012). Investigating the multi-causal and complex nature of the accident causal influence of construction project features. Accident Analysis and Prevention, 48, 126-133. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.aap.2011.05.008

Construction project features (CPFs) are organisational, physical and operational attributes that characterise construction projects. Although previous studies have examined the accident causal influence of CPFs, the multi-causal attribute of this ca...

Briefing: The adverse health and safety influence of subcontracting (2011)
Journal Article
Manu, P., Ankrah, N., Proverbs, D., & Suresh, S. (2011). Briefing: The adverse health and safety influence of subcontracting. Proceedings of the ICE - Management, Procurement and Law, 164(4), 169-171. https://doi.org/10.1680/mpal.10.00008

Subcontracting has been noted to have an adverse influence on health and safety. Through a critique of the health and safety literature the causative factors of this adverse influence are identified, and a subsequent examination of the Construction (...
