The book was a long read and made some challenging conclusions but provided me with specific, valuable knowledge in serious construction scheduling topics such as extension of time claims and time impact analysis. The examples included are many as are the case studies. The book opened my mind as to the significant capability the construction schedule can have on making or breaking the profitablility of a compressed project or one that is prone to delays. The book is a must read for consultants on the matter but also important to senior project controls staff.

...who later became a construction lawyer, I cannot recommend this book highly enough. This book was written by pioneers in both fields and merges them very well.

No, its not exactly 'beach reading,' but I particularly liked the ethical aspects that were discussed. Its a very practical book, outlining the cases in logical order and explaining the scheduling process with just the right level of detail.

Scheduling goes to the heart of construction contract 'liquidated damages' disputes, an issue that countless hours are wasted on every day. If more people in the construction industry understood the concepts in this book, and applied them rigorously, we'd all benefit.
