- Book Synopsis
- Comprehensive guide examining analytical methods used to devise an efficient and successful schedule for construction projects of all sizes The newly revised and updated Fifth Edition of Construction Project Scheduling and Control describes the tools and methods that make projects run smoothly, with invaluable information from a noted career construction professional, along with updated information on Building Information Modeling (BIM) and new technologies impacting project scheduling. The first chapter is now replaced by two chapters on planning and scheduling, separately. A new chapter on optimizing the schedule that applies all scheduling concepts has been added. The book also includes worked problems and exercises with scheduling software hints to enable students and practicing professionals to apply critical thinking to issues in construction scheduling. This Fifth Edition includes a revised chapter on the definition of the critical path, which follows a discussion of resource management, schedule updating and project control, schedule acceleration, risk, and other topics. This edition also includes numerous notes on all aspects of the project that may impact the schedule. In addition, it features a chapter on project scheduling and control as viewed through the owner's perspective, as well as an expanded glossary, a list of acronyms, and more. Instructors who adopt this book will be provided with valuable materials including PowerPoint lecture slides, an instructor's manual with complete solutions to the book's exercises, and additional questions for exams.
