| Summary |
"Updated from the author's The Site Agent's Handbook, this book has been specifically designed to have a wide international appeal and to be relevant to the entire construction market targeting both contractors and subcontractors." "Ultimately, the ability to make profit is the driving force for any commercial contractor. In this book, Ray Ranns aims to provide a complete grounding in all matters concerning construction management which will affect the quality and financial success of a project. Practical Construction Management plugs a gap in contractors' training schemes which rarely cover all the issues in a holistic approach."--BOOK JACKET |
