Construction Cost Estimating equips a new generation of students
and early-career professionals with the skills they need to bid
successfully on projects. From developing bid strategies to
submitting a completed bid, this innovative textbook introduces the
fundamentals of construction estimating through a real-life case
study that unfolds across its 24 chapters. Exercises at the end of
each chapter offer hands-on practice with core concepts such as
quantity take-offs, pricing, and estimating for subcontractor work.
Online resources provide instant access to examples of authentic
construction documents, including complete, detailed direct work
estimates, subcontractor work estimates, general conditions
estimates, markups, and summary schedules. Through its unique mix
of real-world examples and classroom-tested insights, Construction
Cost Estimating ensures that readers are familiar with the entire
estimating process even before setting foot on the jobsite.

This revised and updated edition of Construction Equipment
Management fills a gap on this subject by integrating both
conceptual and hands-on quantitative knowledge on construction
equipment into a process that facilitates student learning. The
first six chapters summarize interdisciplinary concepts that are
necessary to ground students' learning on construction equipment
management, including both engineering and economics. Each of the
next 16 chapters covers a different type of construction equipment
and associated methods of use. The final chapter introduces the
more advanced concept of operation analysis. This allows the book
to be used on numerous courses at different levels to prepare
graduates to apply skills on construction equipment when planning
for a new project, estimating its costs, and monitoring field
operations. Organized around the major categories of construction
equipment, including both commercial and heavy civil examples, case
studies, and exercises, this textbook will help students develop
independence in applying concepts to hands-on scenarios. A
companion website provides an instructor manual, solutions,
additional examples, lecture slides, figures, and diagrams.

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.
