Customer Reviews

The book is what its suppose to be

This book came through with flying colors, along with plenty of time before classes got started.

Cheaper then the bookstore

The condition of the book was great. They only thing is that it arrived one day later then expected. Not really a big deal.

A good introductory overview - but a little weak on real world applications

This book uniquely covered the traditional construction management subjects of estimating, scheduling, control, then added preconstruction activities and project delivery methods, followed by construction law and safety. These subject, which are integrated together in the work world, are usally found in 3-4 different books. Some additional depth, such as adding order of magnitude estimating, and estimating by assemblies, was a welcome addition. A little more "this is how it is really done in the real world" would have been helpful.Choosing Project Success - A Guide for Building Professionals

Great book

Great book to learn Enviroment Systems. Gave me an A in the course. Easy to read, and follow. Filled with much needed charts, tables, and pictures. I recommend for this subject

Construction managment

This book was written by my old professor at wentworth institute of technology. Although he only gave me a B in the class i have to say the book was written very well ;). It is designed to give the reader important information of construction management in a very basic way. If you are a beginner in the construction business you can not go wrong with this book.
