Su questo libro

Dalla quarta di copertina

This text is organized within the context of a real construction project, emphasizing the skills, knowledge, and techniques needed to be a successful project manager. The example of a single construction project used throughout the text is an effective analytical tool in that the topics are addressed in the sequence that a manager would address them on the job. The fact that it is a real-world project will be meaningful to readers who seek to apply concepts to everyday practices.

Key features of this edition:

• Discussion of the interrelationships between field and office operations as well as the relationships between the estimate, the schedule, and cash flow.
• Excellent photographs depict the stages of the project's development.
• Logical organization of chapters and review questions.
