Description: This book explores the people involved in the design and construction process, the principle phases of a project, and the tools required to effectively manage them both. It also looks at an industry once steeped in conservative practices and narrow scoped services, that has moved to the forefront of the design and construction profession. Detailed topics include construction services during design, project delivery methods, bidding and procurement, estimating project costs, and construction safety and health. For civil engineers or architects who want a better understanding of the construction process, and for practitioners looking for insight on industry changes--and the new tools and management methods available to deal with them.
