Reviews / Votes
"...update[s] and extend[s] the coverage of [the] outstanding First Edition to incorporate an even wider perspective of state-of-the-art, business-driven capital project delivery processes and techniques ... Unlike many other books on this subject this is clearly an excellent, convenient, self-contained reference for hands on practitioners ... with clear examples and a valuable database of frequently used metrics. A must reference for today's lean and mean capital project practitioner."-From the Foreword by Louis J. Cabano, President PATHFINDER, LLC Cherry Hill, New Jersey
"This second edition ... is a major revision and expansion over the highly successful first edition. New as a co-author is William C. Cole who brings additional perspectives to the book from his experience in major chemical process industry construction ... new chapters are a substantial improvement to what was already an excellent reference."
-International Cost Engineering Council
