Tim Fenton’s Construction Project Management is a comprehensive, step-by-step guide to managing the challenges of commercial construction. Each chapter is designed to share knowledge and insight a new project manager needs as though they are starting work tomorrow.
This second edition starts with an overview of the construction market, the players, the codes, the permits, the trade organizations, and new technologies. The topic then zeros in on contractor organization, the way new work is picked up, and the role of unions.
Contracts are explained with all their components and exhibits. Attention is drawn to certain areas of concern, like the reason the project start date is sometimes unclear after construction is well underway.
Preconstruction services are provided on most negotiated projects. In six chapters you’ll find out how it works, what is expected of the contractor, and how it benefits the project.
The final estimate will become the roadmap for all project spending. Twelve chapters are devoted to the entire process, from soliciting subcontractor bids and doing quantity surveys to pricing work and developing a clarifications list.
The “buyout” and writing subcontracts comes after the estimate. Discover how it’s done and learn about the three measures of a successful buyout.
In preparation for the construction phase, the subject turns to schedules, meetings, and jobsite safety. You’ll also gain insight on the relationship between the project manager and superintendent.
Each step of the billing process is walked through in detail. The project manager oversees this effort which is a key element in managing the project finances.
Getting paid for changes is essential to the project’s success. In five chapters, the step-by-step process for identifying and processing changes is outlined.
Managing quality takes considerable effort. You’ll gain an understanding of submittals, field questions, and consultant reports, and learn how mockups and pre-installation meetings can avoid later problems.
The risk management section introduces the reader to five types of labor shortages and some practical solutions. We’ll then explain what is involved when a subcontractor or vendor goes out of business. Then the insurance chapter gives an overview of twelve types of insurance that can limit the contractor’s risk.
Closeout is a lengthy process the project manager will oversee. Learn about everything from punch lists, final billings, and warranties, to owner manuals, demobilization, and audits.
Dive into the many details of managing building projects:
• Should a non-performing subcontractor be terminated?
• How are profit centers built into negotiated work?
• What are the warning signs of a supplier with financial trouble?
• Should the contractor insist on having everything in writing from the owner?
• What is overbilling, how is it done, and how is it prevented?
Find out how the project business affairs are managed and what it means to pursue a career in construction management.
