Guide to the WHOLE life cycle of construction projects
Product Description
Management of Construction introduces all aspects of management practice to students and professionals based in the construction industry. It is also important for those involved in allied fields such as design, project development, and site monitoring and inspection.

The author also balances engineering concerns with the human resource and personal aspects of construction management that are so important to the successful outcome of a project.
*Structured on the project life cycle
*Covers design-build, build-own-operate-transfer, and construction management
*Discusses environmental issues important in today's construction practice

The management of (limited) contruction...,
By
This review is from: The Management of Construction: A Project Lifecycle Approach (Paperback)
I am surprised that the project samples are only limited with pipelines.
In a world of shopping mall, high rise residence and office tower contructions, none of these projects exist in this book. Buy it only if you are in pipeline construction...!
