What it takes to develop, plan and manage a construction project.
This straightforward and readable, yet thorough, textbook focuses on the role of the contractor, taking the reader from start to finish -- from the early development stage through bidding, selection of the contractor, the construction itself, and close-out. A wide range of practical issues are explored, and frequently-asked questions answered:
-- Exactly who the players are in construction and what each one does
-- Why contractors should avoid some jobs, and how they get the right jobs
-- What bidding is, and why the low bid isn't always the best bid
-- Why different types of construction contracts carry different levels of risk
-- The link between the type of contract and how the contractor gets paid
-- Why cost estimates and schedules are keys to project success
-- How a general contractor brings in a job on time and on budget
And much more:
-- Bonds, insurance, and liens
-- Avoiding and resolving disputes
-- Design-build, integrated project delivery and BIM
-- Change orders
-- Getting paid
-- Extensive glossary of construction project management vocabulary
With a complete introduction to Green Building.

I have been teaching construction-related courses at a California Junior College for the past 5 years and have 20 years experience managing construction projects. I am a licensed general contractor and an urban planning consultant. This is the most clearly written, comprehensive and well-organized textbook on the construction management process I have seen to date. It has filled in gaps in my knowledge.

As a former employee of New York City and one who was involved in both contract and subcontract work, I found this text both well organized and clearly written. I would highly recommend this book to anyone involved in construction project management work, it is an extremely helpful "how to text" as one works through this difficult and at times complicated process.
