Construction Management Jumpstart is the definitive introduction to
the field, providing a detailed walkthrough of each stage of a
project from the construction manager's perspective. Authoritative
coverage of fundamental concepts and practices clearly delineates
the manager's role, while step-by-step guidance provides valuable
instruction for essential management duties. This new third edition
has been updated to reflect the field's current environment and
best practices, giving students a highly-relevant introduction to
an evolving industry. Three new chapters include insightful
discussion of the pre-construction phase, team management, and

important concepts and help translate them to practice.
Construction managers work alongside project managers, and use many
of the same tried-and-true techniques--but construction managers
must also adhere to a vast array of industry-specific standards and
regulations. This book helps you build a foundation in critical
concepts and practices while tailoring traditional project
management techniques to the construction management sphere.
Understand essential management roles and responsibilities for each
stage of a construction project Learn how to estimate costs,
administer contracts, manage operations, monitor performance,
assess risks, and more Explore critical concepts in planning and
scheduling that help keep projects running on-time and on-budget
Discover how Building Information Modeling software is impacting
the industry, and how it affects construction management Evolving
regulations, advancing technology, and economies in flux all impact
the construction industry in a number of ways; management's job is
to clear obstacles to delivery and streamline the project's
completion. To be effective, construction managers must stay up to
date on the latest tools and best practices, and have a strong
grasp of the fundamentals of the role. Construction Management
Jumpstart provides a practical, highly-relevant introduction to the
field.
