Productivity in Construction Projects (eBook)

Ted Trauner, Chris Kay, and Brian Furniss have worked on thousands of construction projects from concept and the pre-bid phase to the design, construction, and litigation phases. They have first-hand knowledge of how construction productivity can either "make or break" a project and company. As seen in their biographies inside the book, Ted Trauner is a recognized expert in the areas of construction management and disputes, and has authored seven books on construction management topics. Chris Kay was a trial lawyer for 23 years before serving as General Counsel, Chief Operating Officer, and Chief Executive Officer, and advisor for multiple large corporations. Like Ted, Brian Furniss is a licensed Professional Engineer in multiple states, an author of books and other construction industry publications, and is a recognized expert in the construction management field. The three authors combine their expertise to offer lessons learned from prior project challenges, and guidance for the construction industry's future.
