Managing a bit of building (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

coping

This clue is a double definition.

'managing' is the first definition.
('cope' can be a synonym of 'manage')

'a bit of building' is the second definition.
('coping' is part of 'building')

(Other definitions for coping that I've seen before include "Contending with - wall masonry" , "Capping along the top of a stone wall" , "Managing, getting by" , "wall feature" , "Rubbing along" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
