Product Description
Product Description
Financial management is an aspect of every construction project. Here is an easy–to–understand guide to financial concepts specific to the construction industry for both students and working professionals. The focus on only construction–related issues and the succinct, practical, and visually–oriented approach makes the material easily accessible to construction professionals who are not financial experts. Case studies and examples, several of them international, show how the principles apply to real world applications.
From the Back Cover
Successful financial management in the construction industry begins with this hands–on guide
While construction professionals are skilled in the technical side of their work, they often find the financial management aspect of the business daunting. Financial Management and Accounting Fundamentals for Construction will help you better understand and navigate the financial decisions that are part of every construction project.
This book is a compact summary of the basic financial skills that a construction professional must have to be successful in the management of a construction company and its projects. Its topics address many of the questions that any construction administrator will face, such as:
How to organize and use a company′s financial reports
What amount of cash must be made available to the contractor to complete a project
Why the early payment of supplier invoices can enhance profitability
How to quantify the time value of money in financial decisions
What tax amount is owed by a company and how it impacts the bottom line
How to control project costs
What financial sources are available to a construction contractor for capital expansion
In this text, you will learn about accounting fundamentals, project–related financial matters, and company level financial issues—three factors that are key to your career success. An ideal reference for students of construction management and engineering, as well as professionals who need a quick refresher when dealing with cost control analysis and other financial issues, this text also offers:
Easy–to–understand coverage of financial concepts specific to the construction industry, including business taxation, project control, engineering economy, and financial forecasting
Numerous worked examples, plus end–of–chapter review questions and exercises
Helpful appendices that present the structure of a typical chart of accounts, the flow of transactions through a construction accounting system, and tables required for computing interest and the time value of money
