to both technical and business sides of construction, and is<br />
intended for use in an undergraduate Civil Engineering curriculum or<br />
for graduate courses in Construction Management. The text covers<br />
fundamentals of construction in a logical, simple, and concise format,<br />
and many examples reinforce construction and management concepts<br />
through applications, photographs, and illustrations derived from actual<br />
projects. Based upon professional practice, standard formats for<br />
analyzing common problems are presented and explained preparing<br />
students for fast-paced bid preparation.<br />
The second edition of Construction Management Fundamentals<br />
