Summary: "Construction projects are tarnished for being cover-budget, late and saddled with scope creep, as well as for poor communication protocols and inadequate controls around scope change management. It is energetic that a construction project manager takes a proactive approach from the moment of his or her appointment. Project management plans, even for relatively modest construction projects, should exhibit a level of detail greater than might be deemed appropriate for other types of projects of equivalent cost and duration. The management of construction process. Construction projects have a specific set of objectives and constraints such as a required time frame for completion. While the relevant technology, institutional arrangement or processes will differ, the management of such projects has much in common with the management of similar types of projects in other specialty of technology domains such as aerospace, pharmaceutical and energy developments. “Theory, practice and techniques in construction management” offers wide ranging and comprehensive coverage of all facets of construction engineering and project management. It provides a comprehensive understanding of when, where and how to use the most effective project management resources. This comprehensive book’s logical, well-structured format follows the natural sequence of a construction project. It looks at management principles and techniques applied to the day-to-day problems facing a business in the construction industry. The each chapter contains specific key notes, learning objectives, comprehensive indicative content, tables, and illustration together with the topic areas."--Back cover
