Synopsis

A solutions manual to the book which emphasizes management contracts and establishes a system for quality programmes. The book is written for those whose objective is to be an effective project manager - co-ordinating team members in setting up all types of projects. It focuses on the early stages of project development - when decisions are made that have the most impact on a project - and integrates the three basic components of a project: scope, budget and schedule. It presents the principles and techniques of project management beginning with the conceptual phase going on to cover co-ordination of design and construction to project completion. Integrating the importance of team building and co-ordination throughout, it features an entire chapter devoted to total quality management and includes numerous tables and graphs.

About this title

From the Publisher

Most books on this topic start off their discussion already in the construction phase. This book emphasizes project management from the initial conception of the project by the owner, through coordination of design and development of the construction documents, and into the construction phase until project close out.
This book presents the management principles that are part of every project. It also illustrates the basic steps, and sequencing of steps, to develop a work plan to manage a project through every phase of development and completion.
Teamwork between the three principle contracting parties (Owner, Designer, and contractor) is emphasized throughout the book.
