 A good introductory overview - but a little weak on real world applications Sep 11, 2008
By A Customer
"A Customer"
This book uniquely covered the traditional construction management subjects of estimating, scheduling, control, then added preconstruction activities and project delivery methods, followed by construction law and safety. These subject, which are integrated together in the work world, are usally found in 3-4 different books.
Some additional depth, such as adding order of magnitude estimating, and estimating by assemblies, was a welcome addition.
A little more "this is how it is really done in the real world" would have been helpful.Choosing Project Success - A Guide for Building Professionals

 Good exposure to a lot of basic principles Feb 22, 2011
By johnnyb588
This can give you a basic idea of what management is going to be like, and the tasks that will be necessary, but in all reality, a book isn't going to tell you how to do your job. If you have to buy this for coursework, I still don't know if I would consider buying it unless it's mandatory. Even then, you could just check it out from the library if they've got one or two on reserve. There isn't a whole lot in this book that isn't common sense, and there isn't a whole lot that will really get you anywhere if you're already a professional. I spent my money on it because I always bought all my books for my classes, but this is one of those books that I rarely opened before and I will probably never open it again.

Construction managment Aug 11, 2001
By mike defilippo
This book was written by my old professor at wentworth institute of technology. Although he only gave me a B in the class i have to say the book was written very well ;). It is designed to give the reader important information of construction management in a very basic way. If you are a beginner in the construction business you can not go wrong with this book.

Used in a Renewable Energy course of study Aug 10, 2011
By James
In today's environment, students must anticipate and prepare for employing themselves. The Construction Project Management book provides an overall understanding of many of the details to organize and manage a construction project. Together with knowledge of renewable energy systems, and a course in Entrepreneurial Business Management, the student can realistically start their own business and employ both themselves, and others.
