Management of Construction Projects
Author: John Schaufelberger
language: en
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
Release Date: 2017-03-27
Unlike the majority of construction project management textbooks out there, Management of Construction Projects takes a distinctive approach by setting itself in the context of a single and real-world construction project throughout and also by looking at construction project management from the constructor’s perspective. This project-based learning approach emphasizes the skills, knowledge, and techniques students require to become successful project managers. This second edition uses a brand new, larger, and more challenging case study to take students through key stages of the process, including: contracts and subcontracting; estimating, scheduling, and planning; supply chain and materials management; cost control, quality, and safety; project leadership and ethics; and claims, disputes, and project close-outs. Also new to this edition is coverage of emergent industry trends such as LEAN, LEED, and BIM. The book contains essential features such as review questions, exercises, and chapter summaries, while example plans, schedules, contracts, and other documents are stored on a companion website. Written in straightforward language from a constructor’s perspective, this textbook gives a realistic overview and review of the roles of project managers and everything they need to know in order to see a successful project through from start to finish.
Quality Management
"The implementation of quality management is a project and evolves as a result of how projects are planned, executed and closed. This book explores quality management from a project management perspective, based on the authors long experience of teaching and practicing, including the implementation and operation of quality management systems within various types of organisations. The author explores the origins of quality management as a discipline, it's appearance in the present form and how quality management can be implemented and applied in all kinds of organisations to achieve stability and better results. The basic principles of quality management and the ISO9001 quality management standard are discussed and explained from a broad perspective, with illustrative examples from different types of organisations. Quality Management offers a global, accessible guide for undergraduate and postgraduate university students. Written clearly and with illustrative examples, it will also appeal to all those interested in project management and wishing to expand their knowledge base"--
