Add to basketPaperback. The construction industry has changed. Has your management? After forty years in the trenches-from ground-level tradesman to Independent Auditor on a billion-dollar mega-project-Guy Javarone has witnessed the collapse of collaborative building and the rise of something far more dangerous: Bad Faith management. Today's construction projects are battlegrounds. Bad Faith contractors bid with phantom crews they don't possess. Architects hide behind "design intent" to avoid paying for their own omissions. Construction Managers weaponize paperwork, RFI logs, and manipulated schedules-not to build the project, but to bleed it dry. Critical Management Methods gives you the diagnostic firewall to fight back. Built around a proven 14-point framework developed on publicly funded mega-projects and refined across four decades of real-world auditing, this book arms every entity on the job site with the tools to protect what matters most. Owners & Client Representatives - Protect your funding from being treated as a blank check General Contractors & Construction Managers - Defend against phantom crews, defensive designers, and arbitrary gatekeepers Subcontractors & Vendors - Guard your cash flow from the trickle-down squeeze and prove your Field Truth Architects, Engineers & Independent Auditors - Break the information bottleneck, navigate the RFI war, and force equitable resolutions before issues become litigation You will learn how to: Expose the "Trickle-Down Squeeze" before it destroys your cash flowUse a Resource-Loaded CPM Schedule as the ultimate lie detector against phantom crewsIdentify the gap between the "Paper Truth" and the "Field Truth" before it costs you the projectEradicate favoritism and the "buddy system" from the procurement phaseBreak the information bottleneck created by the Architect's "Silo Effect"Handle municipal gatekeepers and third-party risks without losing the warAchieve a Win-Win Closeout where every entity walks away satisfiedWhether you are an Owner protecting your funding, a General Contractor fighting defensive designers, a Subcontractor guarding your cash flow, or an Independent Auditor tasked with exposing the truth-this book is your playbook.Contracts do not build buildings.
