More About the Author
Product Description
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)
Product Description
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.

A good introductory overview - but a little weak on real world applications
11 Sep 2008
Format:Hardcover
This book uniquely covered the traditional construction management subjects of estimating, scheduling, control, then added preconstruction activities and project delivery methods, followed by construction law and safety. These subject, which are integrated together in the work world, are usally found in 3-4 different books.
Some additional depth, such as adding order of magnitude estimating, and estimating by assemblies, was a welcome addition.
A little more "this is how it is really done in the real world" would have been helpful.Choosing Project Success - A Guide for Building Professionals

Good exposure to a lot of basic principles
22 Feb 2011
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
This can give you a basic idea of what management is going to be like, and the tasks that will be necessary, but in all reality, a book isn't going to tell you how to do your job. If you have to buy this for coursework, I still don't know if I would consider buying it unless it's mandatory. Even then, you could just check it out from the library if they've got one or two on reserve. There isn't a whole lot in this book that isn't common sense, and there isn't a whole lot that will really get you anywhere if you're already a professional. I spent my money on it because I always bought all my books for my classes, but this is one of those books that I rarely opened before and I will probably never open it again.

Construction managment
11 Aug 2001
Format:Hardcover
This book was written by my old professor at wentworth institute of technology. Although he only gave me a B in the class i have to say the book was written very well ;). It is designed to give the reader important information of construction management in a very basic way. If you are a beginner in the construction business you can not go wrong with this book.
