Construction Project Management (ePub)

A thoroughly updated edition of the classic guide to project
management of construction projects

For more than thirty years, Construction Project
Management has been considered the preeminent guide to all
aspects of the construction project management process, including
the Critical Path Method (CPM) of project scheduling, and much
more. Now in its Sixth Edition, it continues to provide a solid
foundation of the principles and fundamentals of project
management, with a particular emphasis on project planning,
demonstrated through an example project, along with new pedagogical
elements such as end-of-chapter problems and questions and a full
suite of instructor's resources.

Also new to this edition is information on the Earned Value
Analysis (EVA) system and introductory coverage of Building
Information Modeling (BIM) and Lean Construction in the context of
project scheduling. Readers will also benefit from building
construction examples, which illustrate each of the principles of
project management. This information, combined with the case
studies provided in the appendix, gives readers access to hands-on
project management experience in the context of real-world project
management problems.
