Features: This book is a condensed version of Clifford J. Schexnayder's "Construction Management Fundamentals." The original book consists of 17 chapters, introducing various aspects of construction project management from the perspective of contractors, including the historical development of construction project management, basic functions, bidding processes, cost estimation techniques, quantity take-offs, project contracts, construction accounting, equipment selection, cost estimation, building materials, construction safety, quality control, and trends in construction management development. In the condensation, content related to the development of construction management in the United States, as well as parts of the original book that are less suitable for China's current construction management system (e.g., construction accounting, contract law, and equipment usage) were omitted. The book retains key content on project management for contractors and common project management methods, aiming to provide readers with a relatively comprehensive framework for project management.
