Project Management for Builders and Contractors

Although the first edition was comprehensive and provided sufficient information to ensure most contractors a successful project and a successful business, more information is better! This Second Edition has about 16,000 more words (a 25% increase) - but the essentials are unchanged. There is more detail and additional explanations throughout to give an easier understanding of the principles and practices of project management; more on the implications of contracts and their importance to client/contractor relations; a clarification of strategic evaluation; a bit more on "as-builts", estimating, the importance of monitoring and its budget and on supervision and leadership. Don't forget to consider your client's background - even BIG companies go bankrupt; the contractor is NOT always wrong!
