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.

Synopsis:

The purpose of this book is to present the principles and techniques of project management, beginning with the conceptual phase by the owner, through coordination of design and construction, to project completion. Throughout this book, the importance of management skills is emphasized to enable the user to develop his or her own style of project management. The focus is to apply project management at the beginning of a project, when it is first approved. Too often the formal organization to manage a project is not developed until the beginning of the construction phase. This book presents the information that must be assembled and managed during the development and engineering design phase to bring a project to successful completion by the owner.
