Project Management for Engineering and Construction

Emphasizing management contracts and establishing a system for quality programmes, this book is written for those whose objective is to be an effective project manager - co-ordinating team members in setting up all types of projects. It focuses on the early stages of project development - when decisions are made that have the most impact on a project - and integrates the three basic components of a project: scope, budget, and schedule. It presents the principles and techniques of project management beginning with the conceptual phase, going on to cover co-ordination of design and construction to project completion. Integrating the importance of team building and co-ordination throughout, it features an entire chapter devoted to total quality management and includes numerous tables and graphs. Also available is a solutions manual (0-07-048151-2).
