BOOK INFORMATION


BOOK DESCRIPTION

Chapters 1 to 3 present an overview of the construction management and design
process which should be of interest to anyone engaged in project management for
construction. One need not have detailed knowledge about individual tasks or
techniques for this part. Individuals can read these chapters and understand the
basic philosophy and principles without further elaboration.

Chapters 4 through 14 describe specific functions and techniques useful in the
process of project management. This part presents techniques and requirements
during project planning, including risk management, cost estimation, forecasting
and economic evaluation. It is during this planning and design phase in which
major cost savings may be obtained during the eventual construction and
operation phases. It also addresses programming and financing issues, such as
contracting and bidding for services, financing, organizing communication and
insuring effective use of information. It further discusses techniques for
control of time, cost and quality during the construction phase. All chapters
include suggested problems and exercises.

It is our hope that students beginning their career in project management for
construction will be prepared to adopt the integrated approach emphasized in
this book. Furthermore, experienced professionals in various fields may discover
in this book some surprises that even they have not anticipated. High level
decision makers in owner organizations who are not directly involved in the
project management process may find the basic philosophy and principles of
interest, especially in Chapters 1 through 3, as owners must invariably pay for
constructed facilities, for better or worse. If the book can fulfill even a
small part of its promises to influence the future of project management for
construction, our efforts will have been amply rewarded.
