Reader friendly guide to construction project management through the lens of PMI's PMBOK¯® Guide, with management and leadership soft skills
Comprehensive, up-to-date, and reader friendly, Project Management in the Construction Industry offers a construction-specific project management approach. This book focuses on project management in the construction industry, not just construction management--from project conception through to completion and even beyond. It includes guidance on project initiation in the private and public sector, real estate development, construction in the international environment, and key management and leadership soft skills for construction project management students entering the workforce.
This book offers practical examples and exercises by chapter using a step-by-step approach and includes real-world case studies to further aid in practical application. The author's well-known logical approach to the content allows readers to easily follow along and engage with the material. Instructors have access to an Instructor's Manual with solutions to all exercises, sample quizzes and exams, and PowerPoint lecture slides through the book companion website.
Written by a longtime professional and author with diversified and international experience in academia and industry, Project Management in the Construction Industry covers sample topics such as:
* Project life cycle and organization, covering why and how projects are initiated and pure project versus functional management
* Scope management, covering the decision making process, scope creep versus progressive elaboration, and cost of change versus time
* The planning phase, covering delivery methods and contract types, priorities, feasibility studies, and the "go" decision
* Project budgeting, financing, and cost management, covering direct versus indirect cost, classes and purposes of estimates, bonds and insurance, and the CSI MasterFormat
Using a project management approach customized to fit the construction industry specifically, Project Management in the Construction Industry is an essential learning resource on the subject for all students in project management courses and related programs of study.
