Customer Reviews

Excellence in Tried and True Approaches

Top notch information by one of the best. Not overly verbose and to the point for application in the real world.

The Best Construction Management Book I have ever read

Yes, it's the better Construction Project Management Book I have ever read, and I can say that I've read some ones. As the autor states in the second paragraph of the Preface, the book focus on the mental side of CM rather than the technological side. It is, what you will get from the book is the behavioral aspects of CM, the knowledege you need to better manage your construction projects. One very good thing I found in the book was the indication of what kind of bibliography, and the right titles, the CM might have in his (her) library. By the way, I could read some books recommended by Ritz, and I can say that the autor have the very reason recommending those tittles. I recommended the book to my friends, and recommend it to all of you, because it is one that devote to the every day tasks of the CM, one book that let you to research the way you have to apply the principles stated by the autor. He just direct the way the reader have to behave to be a successful CM. Definitively this book is a must in a CM's personal library. Read It.

An overview ith the details

This book breaks it all down. Time management, budgeting, dealing with staff and technical issues. For those in the field already, its a refresher and a confirmation of what you're doing. For those new to the field, it can serve as an operations manual for guidance. Appendix B that describes the job description is invaluable.
