"The Best Construction Management Book I have ever read" according to Cliente de Amazon. Yes, it's the better Construction Project Management Book I have ever read, and I can say that I've read some ones. As the autor states in the second paragraph of the Preface, the book focus on the mental side of CM rather than the technological side. It is, what you will get from the book is the behavioral aspects of CM, the knowledege you need to better manage your construction projects.One very good thing I found in the book was the indication o. "An overview ith the details" according to William D. Tompkins. This book breaks it all down. Time management, budgeting, dealing with staff and technical issues. For those in the field already, its a refresher and a confirmation of what you're doing. For those new to the field, it can serve as an operations manual for guidance. Appendix B that describes the job description is invaluable.. Fabulous!!! This book was fabulous! My partner and I read this book to prepare for a huge upcoming rehab project involving a ten story building and numerous contractors. We were terrified of cost overruns and this book helped allay those fears by teaching us failsafe procedures for monitoring and assessing our construction partners.
