PROJECT MANAGEMENT FOR CONSTRUCTION. FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPTS FOR OWNERS, ENGINEERS, ARCHITECTS, AND BUILDERS

This book is intended primarily as a text for advanced undergraduates or beginning graduate students in engineering, construction, architecture, or facilities management. Chapters 1 to 3 present an overview of the constuction management and design process. Chapters 4 through 14 describe specific functions and techniques useful in the process of project management. Included are risk assessment, cost estimation, forecasting, economic evaluation, and programming and financing issues, as well as techniques for control of time, cost and quality during the construction phase. The last two chapters, 15 and 16, discuss some future prospects for new technology in the construction field.
