New edition of a bestselling introduction to construction management, offering a walkthrough of each stage of the construction management process
Written from the constructor's perspective, Construction Management JumpStart is the definitive introduction to the field, providing authoritative coverage of all construction management fundamentals and how the latest trends in project delivery methods, technology, and emerging new career opportunities are impacting the construction management profession.
Readers will find step-by-step instructions on how to administer contracts, manage job site operations, plan and schedule projects, monitor project performance, manage project quality and safety, assess project risks, and perform other duties essential to the manager's role. Key foundational information on residential, commercial, heavy civil, industrial, and environmental industry sectors, project players, and professional affiliations is also included.
This revised and updated Fourth Edition reflects the field's current environment and best practices. Two new chapters include insightful discussion on the scope of the industry and business fundamentals for construction entrepreneurs. Several new sections review capital projects, real estate development, preconstruction services, and design-phase management. Review questions at the end of each chapter help reinforce learning, and an instructor companion website offers PowerPoint slides and quizzes by chapter.
Construction Management JumpStart covers topics including:
- Construction contracts, with information on documentation, drawings, project manuals, and contract types including lump-sum, cost-plus-fee, and guaranteed-maximum-price
- Pre-construction services, including feasibility studies, constructability reviews, conceptual estimating, value engineering, and life-cycle cost analysis
- Project cost estimation, covering project size and complexity, site location, time of construction, quality of work, market conditions, and different types of estimates
- Construction operations, including quality control, noise, dust, and mud control, environment protections, and cleanup and trash removal
The Fourth Edition of Construction Management JumpStart is an ideal textbook for all undergraduate courses teaching construction management. The text is also highly valuable for career changers seeking to transition into the construction industry and professionals in the field seeking to fill gaps in their knowledge base and stay up-to-date on industry developments.
