Construction Project Scheduling and Control

Bad scheduling can doom a construction project from the
start
Construction Project Scheduling and Control provides a
comprehensive examination of the analytical methods used to devise
a reasonable, efficient, and successful schedule for construction
projects of all sizes. This updated third edition contains new
information on building image modeling (BIM) and its relationship
to project scheduling and control, as well as thorough coverage of
the latest developments in the field. Written by a career
construction professional, this informative text introduces
students to new concepts in CPM scheduling, including the author's
own Dynamic Minimum Lag technique. The expanded glossary and
acronym list facilitate complete understanding, and the numerous
solved and unsolved problems help students test their knowledge and
apply critical thinking to issues in construction scheduling. A
complete instructor's manual provides solutions to all problems in
the book, test questions for each chapter, and additional exam
questions for more comprehensive testing.

The entire success of a construction process hinges on an
efficient, well-thought out schedule, which is strictly defined
while allowing for inevitable delays and changes. This book helps
students learn the processes, tools, and techniques used to make
projects run smoothly, with expert guidance toward the realities of
this complex function.
