Construction Management Jumpstart
Written by an expert with over 20 years of experience as a licensed contractor, this bestselling guide provides a deep introduction into construction management basics, shares the latest techniques and tools of the trade, and includes today’s hot issues like sustainability and build information modeling (BIM).

Construction Project Management: A Complete Introduction
Alison Dykstra, an architect and construction management teacher, offers an introduction to managing contracted construction projects in 25 chapters. The book walks through the early development stage through bidding, selecting a contractor, the construction itself, and closing out. She also covers frequently asked questions, like who the players are in construction and what each one does, and the link between the type of contract and how the contractor gets paid.

Geared toward construction professionals and students, this book provides a step-by-step guide to successfully managing a project, including a list of things not to do to avoid costly mistakes. Written by a construction professional, readers will learn about planning the project, scheduling, people, materials, quality, safety, subcontractors, contracts, finance and more.
