A Simplified Approach for Managing Building Construction Projects 

Introduction

This e-book is intended to introduce the reader to the complex world of building construction projects. These are projects where thousands of workers and tens of thousands of construction activities are simultaneously managed to deliver a project within time, budget, and with the highest quality possible.  

Often, construction professionals are subject matter experts employed to serve a specific area of knowledge within a construction project. Unfortunately, over the years, this has led to giant “silos ” that isolate teams from each other. This results in poor coordination and project delays, as well as financial burdens.  

Ebook Overview

I have used my previous experience with building construction projects from beginning to end, and grouped lessons learned into this simple guide. This e-book presents a practical framework covering:

• Project management
• Quality management
• Risk management
• Stakeholder management
• Engineering management
• Contract management
• Construction management

It breaks down the process for creating a schedule and outlines document-control procedures tailored specifically to building construction projects. The content is in simple language suitable for the average reader and includes 18 supporting illustrations. 

By sharing this, I hope to bridge gaps within the building construction industry and to add value to this profession!
