abridged curriculum vitae Name Professor (Dr) LANGSTON, Craig Ashley MRICS, FAIQS, MAIB, ICECA Present Position Professor of Construction and Facilities Management Mirvac School of Sustainable Development Bond University University Drive Gold Coast 4229, Queensland, Australia Biography Professor Langston has made significant contributions to scholarship in the building and construction industry over the last ten years. This includes four books published by Butterworth-Heinemann and Elsevier, several book chapters, guidelines for life cycle costing practice in Australia developed via a research consultancy with the Public Works Department of NSW, the production of three software packages used by professional firms and educational institutions, and numerous conference presentations both in Australia and overseas. He has published in well-recognized refereed journals such as the Construction Management and Economics and has served on several editorial boards, including as editor-in-chief. His PhD developed a new approach to the calculation of time equivalence in discounting via the inclusion of affordability considerations linked to predicted changes in living standards. Prior to joining Bond University, Professor Langston held the inaugural chair in Construction Management at Deakin University, where he developed Australia s first undergraduate facilities management degree. Prior to that, Professor Langston developed the first fully online courses at the University of Technology, Sydney, comprising a Master of Facility Management and a Doctorate of Facility Management. He has taught in areas as diverse as quantity surveying, project management, construction economics and sustainable development assessment, but his area of expertise is life cycle costing, in which he is an international expert. His academic career draws on ten years of industry practice as a professional quantity surveyor in Australia. Professor Langston is currently first chief investigator on an Australian Research Council Linkage grant investigating the strategic assessment of adaptive reuse opportunities, and partner investigator on several other research grants related to sustainable development in the built environment.
