The subjects covered in this book include those normally studied in an introductory overview course on construction management, and there is enough depth and added material to serve as the basis for a more advanced course, focusing on organizational and contractual approaches to project management, and the related planning and control systems. This new edition strengthens its coverage of the business aspects of the industry, with a section devoted solely to the business methods in professional construction management. The text's practical in-depth approach to the major engineering and management techniques appeals to both students and practitioners alike.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Worthwhile investment for those in CM or GC,
This review is from: Professional Construction Management: Including CM, Design-Construct and General Contracting (Hardcover)
I used this book in my CM class as a senior in college. The book is pretty comprehensive and a lot of the info didn't make sense until I actually started in the field of general contracting and construction management. Now the info in the book is understandable. I would recommend the book.

Service Review Book Outlooks,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Professional Construction Management: Including CM, Design-Construct and General Contracting (Hardcover)
The product and books that were purchased from Amazon have been just great,
having so much fun with learning now. This is because Amazon delivers the books with speed,most of the time faster than ordering it from the school. So instead of being 28 days behind with class books, you have been able to cut this to 7-10 days which is big help. No more catch up work at school these days! Thank You Amazon we love your access and ability to get the job done in a reasonable time. Thank You, Talibah Salih

Good for a junior engineer,
This review is from: Professional Construction Management: Including CM, Design-Construct and General Contracting (Hardcover)
I got the book's info from my college professor. He strongly recommends this book for me as a junior engineer. I found many useful tables and info from book that mostly I also get from job. Mr Barrie is a consulting engineer and he shared his experiences with us, I felt happy what he did. In the Cve field, most of the things are gathered from experiences. It is quite diffirence from the IT or EE field, it need much time to do it. Mr Barrie give us what he did in recent decades, and I hope we will done better.
