Features: This book is a condensed version of Clifford J. Schexnayder's "Construction Management Fundamentals." The original book consists of 17 chapters, introducing topics from the perspective of contractors, including the development history, 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 sections less suitable for China's current construction management system (e.g., construction accounting, contract law, and equipment usage) were omitted. The book retains key aspects of project management for contractors and common project management methods, aiming to provide readers with a relatively comprehensive framework for project management.
