520 |a This language course book provides the tools to communicate effectively throughout the development of construction projects. It includes the most important vocabulary, grammar and expressions for the successful collaboration in English-speaking planning teams. The 16 chapters are organised according to the planning phases of a project, introducing essential vocabulary from the brief and feasibility study through to the completion and acceptance of a scheme. The planning and development of a single-family home provides a framework to practise business skills, such as telephoning, writing emails and negotiating. Important grammar structures have been included to offer readers the opportunity to refresh and practise elements appropriate to the phase of construction. In addition to the book contents, readers have access not only to audios by scanning the QR codes at the conversations but also the Springer Nature Flashcards-App, which can be downloaded free of charge, to learn vocabulary more effectively with 320 digital flashcards. According to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, the level of this book is B2/C1.
