Synopsis

For undergraduate/graduate courses in Construction Management, and survey courses in Civil Engineering and Architecture.

This readable text provides the student with the “big picture” of the construction management process, giving a perspective as to how the construction industry functions in relation to the national economy and in the public's eye. Examining in detail the estimating, scheduling, control and administrative functions of a project and how they tie into the project “timeline,” the text focuses on the collaborative effort required to complete any public or private project, and examines the roles and responsibilities of all project participants.

About this title

Review

"While reading Construction Project Management, I recalled the days early in my career as an architect/engineer. The description of weekly meetings and topics covered, estimates put together first by the architect on a square foot basis and the more detailed estimates of the general and subcontractors, and checking and coordination of shop drawings all rang true to my memory of how things actually happened on the job." ― William W. Campbell, Montgomery College (retired)
