Disaster Recovery Project Management - Bringing Order from Chaos (Paperback): Randy Rapp Disaster Recovery Project Management - Bringing Order from Chaos (Paperback)
Randy Rapp
R1,817 Discovery Miles 18 170 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

The scope of disasters ranges from man-made emergency to natural calamity, from a kitchen grease fire to a hurricane or volcanic eruption. It may be just one house that is destroyed, or perhaps a whole infrastructure system is threatened. While each type of event requires a very different scale and type of immediate response, the project management challenges that face restoration and reconstruction professionals after the emergency phase is complete are remarkably similar. Using insights acquired through decades of real-world experience, as well as from his academic research and teaching responsibilities, the author explains pertinent requirements and methods for the contractors and other professionals who bring order from chaos. The first section of the book surveys the managerial skills required to confront the range of disasters that might be encountered and the different project environments involved. The second section examines the details of recovery project management and administration, from materials management to health and safety. The third and final section provides an overview of restoration techniques, from restorative drying to debris management and demolition. This is the first systematic presentation of the tools and skills needed for disaster recovery project management. It is designed primarily for contractors (both large and small firms), although it will also be of value for those who might hire them, the communities they serve, and their organizational partners in the disaster recovery effort. Those who are new to disaster restoration and reconstruction will find the volume particularly useful. Focused on informing the management of projects that recover the built environment, after emergency conditions sufficiently stabilize, the volume supplements and complements books devoted to conventional construction or emergency relief management.

Andreas Schmidt gibt praktische Hilfestellung fur die zeitnahe Realisierung und Absicherung von Vergutungsanspruchen. Dies ist fur Bauunternehmen eine wesentliche Voraussetzung fur den Unternehmenserfolg, denn diese sind nach der gesetzlichen Konzeption des Werkvertragsrechts grundsatzlich vorleistungspflichtig - d.h. sie mussen das fur die Leistungserbringung erforderliche Personal, Material und Gerat zunachst vorfinanzieren. Der Autor zeigt, wie der Bauunternehmer die Regelungen im BGB und in der VOB/B betreffend die Abrechnung seiner Leistung sachgemass anwendet, um Zahlungsflusse zu beschleunigen. Zudem erfahrt der Unternehmer, wie er reagieren kann, wenn der Auftraggeber verspatet oder gar nicht zahlt und wie er seinen Vergutungsanspruch fur den Insolvenzfall absichern kann.

Michael Risch beschreibt, wie man Baustellen sicherer gestaltet, die eigene Verantwortung erkennt und damit das Unfall- und Haftungsrisiko reduziert. Ausgehend von den realen Erfordernissen an die Arbeitssicherheit unterstutzt der Autor so bei der Einordnung, Wertung und Anwendung von Vorschriften und Regeln zur Unfallvermeidung und zum Arbeitsschutz auf Baustellen. Auf dieser Grundlage wird der Leser befahigt, diese auf den jeweiligen Sachverhalt in der Praxis zu ubertragen und sinnvoll danach zu handeln. Die Planung komplexer Gebauden sollte mit einer moeglichst genauen Kenntnis der tatsachlichen Bauablaufe Hand in Hand gehen, denn nur so kann bereits im Planungsprozess eine vorausschauende Gefahrdungsbeurteilung fur die Bauausfuhrung erfolgen. Mit der Inbetriebnahme und Nutzung eines Gebaudes muss auch dessen Wartung, Pflege und Instandhaltung sicher und ungefahrdet durchfuhrbar sein, was im Planungsprozess zu berucksichtigen und in der Bauausfuhrung umzusetzen ist.

Successful Construction Project Management - The Practical Guide, provides useful tips to managing a construction project. It's aimed at construction professionals as well as those studying construction project management. Managing a construction project isn't an easy job and requires a large skill set. Some of these skills are learned by attending courses and colleges (which are often more theoretical than practical). However, others are only learned by experience, and often the hard way - learning from mistakes. This book bridges the gap between the theoretical and practical and includes chapters on planning the project, starting it, scheduling, running the project, completing it, people, materials, equipment, quality, safety, subcontractors, contractual and financial. These chapters are broken into multiple sections providing a step-by-step guide to successfully managing a construction project, and, including what-not-to-do to avoid costly mistakes. Key features of the book are it: is written for construction contractors by a contractor is written in an easy to read, friendly style, and avoids being too 'textbook' in nature has numerous practical examples of situations the author has seen and experienced over twenty-eight years in construction includes many topics essential to successfully managing projects which aren't included in most other project management books (such as; teamwork, delegation, communication, time management and preparing for meetings) has the information clearly set out and easily available so the book can be used as a continuing reference is not specific to a particular country or field of construction includes a large amount of valuable, useful and relevant information dealing with practical everyday issues of managing a project has a summary of the salient points at the end of each chapter Managing a construction project requires Project Managers with an understanding of construction processes, able to develop schedules, procure materials and equipment, aware of safety, environmental and labour legislation, capable of working with different people including the public, their workers, the client and designers, and able to manage subcontractors. They need to develop an appropriate construction methodology which uses the available personnel and equipment efficiently, enabling the project to be built in the shortest possible time, taking into account the client's requirements and the project's location and restraints. In addition, they must ensure the project is carried out safely and meets the required quality standards and complies with all permits, regulations and registrations. They must manage contractual issues with the client in a manner which doesn't jeopardise their company, ensuring the project is financially successful, while always maintaining good client relations. The project must be successfully completed on-time and closed-out correctly. The book discusses all of this, and more, in detail and includes many examples which provide relevance to the subject matter. By reading and using this book Project Managers will avoid some of the many problems encountered everyday on construction projects. The book should prove to be an excellent reference which can continually be referred to so that Project Managers don't forget important steps in the construction management process. The contents should be easily understood by people in the construction industry and those studying construction. A glossary of terms is included since terminologies vary between countries and even companies.

Have you recently hired a contractor to do some home improvements, but after careful inspection, you noticed the work was subpar? You are not alone. According to the National Association of Consumer Agency Administrators and the Consumer Federation of America, home improvement contracting was the top complaint category reported by state and local consumer protection agencies during the last decade.
Randal Winter has met some very distraught homeowners over the years. Some of these people have been without kitchens for over two years and some without bathrooms for up to fourteen months. Others are stuck with leaking roofs after spending tens of thousands of dollars for what they thought was going to be a new roof.

Der Gebaudesockel und der Ubergangsbereich zu den Aussenanlagen sind typische Schnittstellen, an denen verschiedene Gewerke koordiniert und Beanspruchungen aus dem Erdreich, dem anschliessenden Gelande und der aufgehenden Fassade berucksichtigt werden mussen. Die Regelwerke behandeln diese Gebaudezonen nur am Rande und man gewinnt bei Begutachtungen nicht selten den Eindruck, dass sich hier niemand zustandig fuhlt. Die 38. Aachener Bausachverstandigentage beschaftigen sich mit dem Themenkomplex der dort haufig auftretenden Schaden und Mangelstreitigkeiten.

Als aktuelles Streitthema werden die unterschiedlichen Auffassungen zum notwendigen Aufwand bei der Schimmelpilzsanierung dargestellt und diskutiert. In diesem Zusammenhang wird auch der aktuelle Sachstand zum DIN-Fachbericht 4108-8 kommentiert.
