scheduling through controls and closeout, from the perspective of
real-world general contractors and scheduling professionals.
Filled with tools and strategies that actually help contractors build
projects, and light on academic jargon and terminology that's not used
in the field, the book includes examples of real craft workers and
subcontractors, like electricians, carpenters, and drywallers, to
highlight the concepts discussed within. Finally, an extensive appendix
rounds out the book with references to additional resources for the
reader.
This comprehensive guide includes:
- Thorough introductions to construction contracting, lean construction
planning, subcontractor management, and more
- A comprehensive exploration of a commercial case study that's
considered in each chapter, connecting critical topics with a
consistent through line
- End-of-chapter review questions and applied exercises
- Access to a companion website that includes additional resources and,
for instructors, solutions, additional case studies, sample estimates,
and sample schedules
Perfect for upper-level undergraduate students in construction
management and construction engineering programs, A Contractor's Guide
to Planning, Scheduling, and Control is also an irreplaceable reference
for general contractors and construction project -management
professionals.
