dishonesty. If you are found to be guilty ofplagiarism, you will have to undertake a new

project in the summer or repeat the year,

depending upon your performance in othercourses.

should be indicated as shown below:

In research aimed at investigating construction

firms' marketing methods Baker and Orsaah(1985) investigated "how customers choose their

Bromilow (1974) succinctly states that in his

building operations are to define the design and

specifications, price and timing of the proposed

building, and, once they have been agreed by the

client, to meet them."
