Written for the new professional, Construction Project Management is an invaluable guide that explains how building projects are managed and how the construction process works.
This text offers a comprehensive introduction to the industry, but what makes it special is its practical focus. Rather than staying theoretical, its aim is to explain the knowledge and skills that are essential in the workplace.
This second edition starts with an overview of the construction market, the players, the codes, the permits, the trade organizations, and new technologies. The topic then zeros in on contractor organization, the way new work is picked up, and the role of unions.
Contracts are explained with all their components and exhibits, with attention drawn to special areas of concern.
Preconstruction services are provided on most negotiated projects. In six chapters you’ll find out how it works, what is expected of the contractor, and how it benefits the project.
The final estimate will become the roadmap for all project spending. Twelve chapters are devoted to the entire process, from soliciting subcontractor bids and doing quantity surveys to pricing work and developing a clarifications list.
The “buyout” and writing subcontracts comes after the estimate. Discover how it’s done and learn about the three measures of a successful buyout.
In preparation for the construction phase, the topic turns to schedules, meetings and jobsite safety. You’ll also gain insight on the relationship between the project manager and superintendent.
Each step of the billing process is walked through in detail. The project manager oversees this effort which is a key element in managing the project finances.
Getting paid for changes is vital to the project’s success. In five chapters, the step-by-step process for identifying and processing changes is outlined.
Managing quality takes considerable effort. You’ll gain an understanding of submittals, field questions, and consultant reports, and learn how mockups and pre-installation meetings can avoid later problems.
The risk management section introduces the reader to five types of labor shortages and some practical solutions. We’ll then explain what is involved when a subcontractor or vendor goes out of business. And finally, the insurance chapter gives an overview of twelve types of insurance that can limit the contractor’s risk.
Closeout is a long process the project manager will oversee. Learn about everything from punch lists, final billings, and warranties, to owner manuals, demobilizing, and audits.
Dive into these details of managing building projects:
• Should a non-performing subcontractor be terminated?
• How are profit centers built into negotiated work?
• What are the warning signs of a supplier with financial trouble?
• Should the contractor require that all direction from the owner be in writing?
• What is overbilling, how is it done, and how is it prevented?
Find all this and plenty more in Construction Project Management !
This is a great career that pays well and is in high demand.
