Authors:James O'BrienFredric Plotnick

Description:
Accelerate with CPM - and this leading guide to construction planning and scheduling. Widely used to network schedules effectively, critical path management (CPM) has become a powerful catalyst for fail-safe construction project design and management. And when it comes to applying CPM to day-in, day-out construction situations, this guide is the one you'll want to have.Written by the former vice chair of the celebrated construction management firm that renovated San Francisco's cable car system and redeveloped New York's JFK Airport, and by one of America's leading construction scheduling experts, the "Sixth Edition of CPM in Construction Management" arms you with more glitch-busting tools than ever for smooth handling of complex jobs.This highly informative, highly useful book shows you how CPM: works - and how to make it work for you; Serves as the analytical tool of choice for the evaluation, negotiation, resolution, and/or litigation of construction claims; cuts costs in a one-person operation or the most complex multinational enterprise; helps you stay on top of every aspect of complicated projects; saves you big money in delay avoidance, accurate cost predictions, and claims reduction; multiplies the effectiveness of your instincts, experience, and knowledge; and explains how to fully and properly utilize the power of leading scheduling software such as Primavera[trademark]. With case studies of major construction projects around the world and a 'John Doe' example project that's followed throughout, this book goes a long way in simplifying your application of CPM. From cutting project time up to 40 percent, to advanced gains from computer programs; from assessing critical deliveries, to courtroom evidentiary value - this updated classic is the construction tool that makes everything around you work better, faster, and more economically. This title helps you expedite CPM - and your projects fundamentals of CPM. Following are the features: event time computations; activity time computations; procurement; preconstruction; the CPM schedule; preparation of CPM network; CPM by computer; monitoring project progress; CPM and cost control; equipment and work force planning; precedence networks; computer programs and systems; applications and advantages of CPM; specifying CPM; CPM costs; case histories; and, CPM in claims and litigation.

Subcontractor Scopes of Work by Jason G Smith, Jimmie Hinze - PDF Download

Description:

Construction Management: Subcontractor Scopes of Work by Jason G Smith, Jimmie Hinze
C.RC Press | 2009 | ISBN: 1439809410 | 464 pages | PDF | 11 MB
A single mistake, whether made during the bidding process or when executing a construction project, can potentially cost tens of thousands of dollars or more. Of course, the sooner mistakes are caught, the less costly they become. Based on the authors’ combined experience working on projects large and small, Construction Management: Subcontractor Scopes of Work delineates how project teams can avoid mistakes and run projects more intelligently, effectively, and efficiently.
This book’s concentration on the nuts and bolts of a construction project, rather than on basic philosophies and concepts, sets it apart. It focuses not on the mechanics of writing subcontract scopes of work, but on why they are written the way they are. Designed by contractors for contractors, this is not a book of simple checklists describing how to address various issues, but a compilation of practical examples and lessons learned to form a knowledge base that can be applied to any project. This knowledge can be used to prepare bid documents that clearly define the roles of the various subcontractors, ensuring the full scope of the project is covered without redundancy or duplication.
Provides invaluable training while minimizing lost productivity!
Auxiliary multiple choice tests and answer keys are available for download from the CRC website. Using this feature, executives will spend less time preparing and presenting in-house seminars, employees can study when they want and take the tests at opportune times. With this book and downloadable tests, the productivity lost due to training is reduced tremendously.
Disagreements over the scope of work required of a general contractor and/or trade subcontractors that ultimately end in construction disputes plague the construction industry. This book elucidates problematic aspects of construction projects while also providing insight into the different perspectives of the various project team members. It delivers helpful information that prevents gaps in subcontract coverage and scope disagreements and reduces potential construction disputes.

Construction Management and Design of Industrial Concrete and Steel Structures - Pdf download

Description:
Construction Management and Design of Industrial Concrete and Steel Structures
Mohamed A. El-Reedy | CRC Press | 2011-09-13 | 576 pages | English | PDF
The recent worldwide boom in industrial construction and the corresponding billions of dollars spent every year in industrial, oil, gas, and petrochemical and power generation project, has created fierce competition for these projects. Strong management and technical competence will bring your projects in on time and on budget. An in-depth exploration of both these aspects and the resulting challenges, Construction Management and Design of Industrial Concrete and Steel Structures provides a practical guide to the design of reinforced concrete and steel structures and foundations in industrial projects.
Renowned expert Mohamed A. El-Reedy covers the entire industrial construction process, from project management to design and construction to sigh off and providing a maintenance plan. Highlighting the differences between industrial construction and real estate or residential construction, he examines every phase and every role, from managerial to technical. He includes cases from industrial projects and covers the international technical practices, codes, and standards used in steel or concrete onshore or offshore projects. The book provides up-to-date methodologies in structure analysis, geotechnical studies, and international special codes and standards for industrial structures such as tanks, foundation under towers, machines, and special structures in industrial projects. It also examines the safety and economic benefits of developing a structure integrity management system.
When a project has a budget that seems as huge at the structure itself, the client, engineering firm, and contractor must work together to achieve success. Discussing the interface between these three main partners, this book outlines strategies for checking the design and controlling a project in all its phases.
